Craftails brings summer into the home with the Dark & Stormy

We have long been tired of the gray days of winter. We long for vacation, to enjoy the sun together with friends or family. Unfortunately, this is not yet in the cards, but dreams are allowed! Right? 

Bring the sun into your business with a refreshing cocktail: the Dark & Stormy.

What is the Dark & Stormy and where did this cocktail come from?

The name Dark & Stormy may not immediately remind you of a tropical resort, but nothing could be further from the truth. Conceived by a sailor, the cocktail consists of a combination of the two favorite alcoholic beverages of British Sailors: Rum and Ginger Beer. So the name Dark & Stormy makes sense: it's about a storm that no sailor wanted to sail through. The garnish also had a function among sailors. They happily ate the lime served with the drink to have an aftertaste of the drink. It was also useful to prevent scurvy, a common disease at the time.

Dark & Stormy's refreshing and uplifting touch of lime combined with ginger and rum makes it the ideal cocktail to get you out of that winter slump!

Usually a cocktail is a drink that requires a lot of ingredients. So it's just too much work to quickly flee to an (imaginary) exotic place.
