The Blue Duck

Did you know there's a lot of rum drinks that start with the letter "D?" This week's #cocktail of the week: the Dark 'n' Stormy. ---------- The Dark ‘N’ Stormy is one of only a few cocktails in the world that can get you in legal trouble...if you’re not careful. Made with Gosling’s Black Seal rum, a dark, dark rum that’s been knocking sailors off their feet since 1806, and ginger beer over ice with a slice of lime, this quintessentially Caribbean delight just so happens to b...e registered under two patents with the US Patents and Trademark Office. The official cocktail of Bermuda should only be made with Gosling’s, as other dark rums are criminal to use, both due to the law and also since they don’t impart anywhere close to the level of flavor that Gosling’s does. We're using @goslingsrum Dark Rum, fresh lime, and ginger beer. #cocktails #rum #BlueDuckStl #Maplewood See more

This week's #cocktail of the week is the classic Brandy Crusta. ---------- Joseph Santini, owner of Jewel of the South coffee house in New Orleans from 1833 to 1869, originated the Brandy Crusta. The Brandy Crusta appears in Jerry Thomas’s definitive Bartenders Guide, published in 1862. Other recipes appearing throughout the ages, such as the Sidecar, give homage with subtle variations, but the primary attributes are as follows: base spirit, citrus, orange liqueur or alternative cordial, bitters, the mandatory shell of a whole lemon delicately placed against the mouth of the glass, and a sugar rim - the cocktail's signature crust(a). We're using Chateau d'Orignac VSOP Cognac, @duckettrum Curacao Noir, @luxardousa Maraschino, @angosturahouse Bitters, and fresh lemon. #cognac #cocktails #BlueDuckStl #maplewood
