Dark and Stormy or Mojito?

FWIW Phil doesn't car for the Dark n Stormy either. Its a matter of likes and dislikes.
However, he does make something similar with bourbon instead of rum. I tend to like rum more than bourbon.
Has anyone tried the recipe for mojitos made with Tequilla? Just curious.

I don't like Dark 'n Stormys that are made with regular ginger ale. I buy a really spicy ginger ale from South Carolina called Blenheim and mix it with Mount Gay and a splash of Myers's dark. I had 2 Dark 'n Stormys on the boat today. It's a great boat drink.
The bourbon version of a mojito is a classic mint julip. They're usually served in a sterling silver cup that's filled to overflowing with crushed ice so it looks like bourbon with some mint poured over a snowcone. I usually get peer-pressured into having one on Derby day. Not my favorite.

We enjoy Mint juleps as well, but Phil also likes a nice ginger ale with bourbon.
My preferred ginger ale for Dark n Stormies is Reeds Ginger Beer, which has an extra spicy ginger zing to it. http://www.bevmo.com/Shop/ProductDe...edium=cpc&utm_campaign=froogle&ProductID=4993

Maine Root makes a good ginger beer. Thats my go to for making dark and stormies.
Never tried a "spicy ginger ale." Is it the same thing as ginger beer?

Been really enjoy the classic gin tonic this summer. Preferably using Tangeray's Rangpur Gin (a bit more citrusy than good 'ol Tangeray) 
Captain Diet. That's me all summer!

Try Bombay Sappire (my favorite). Hendrick's cucumber is an interesting twist, too, and pretty good as a G&T.
Since most of my summer drinking is done on the boat, it's usually canned beer for me- fortunately, there are some good ones in cans these days. I'm not a fan of Stella, but it's great to see such a "premium" beer in cans now. Tecate and Modello Especial are my go-tos for boat beer.

I found a Cuban restaurant in my area that makes the best Mojito I've ever tasted. A perfect summer refreshment.

FWIW, I tried a new Ginger Beer today and it was waaaay too sweet, and not enough ginger
flavor. Don't use Saranac ginger Beer.

Sweat Tea Vodka, Sweet Tea Vodka, or Sweaty Vodka?
Only one of those options is appealing...
