Dark and Stormy!

The drink not your day!

The Dark and Stormy is Bermuda's favorite cocktail. Made with Black Seal Rum and extra spicy ginger beer, it was brought to Newport in 1906 via the Newport- Bermuda Race. A ocean race for amateur sailors. Now known as the official cocktail for Newport sailors, it can make the perfect signature drink for your Rehearsal Dinner or Clam Bake Wedding. I like to use this as a signature drink at Clam Bake Rehearsal Dinners. Next time you are in town try one or make one at home.

Ingredients
1½ oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum
Ginger Beer
Lime
Method:1½ oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum, top with Barritts ginger beer.
Shake and garnish with lime

The Cool Factor JFK's Style

JKF Style
By Kaye Betts for TIME Mulitmedia

The 35th President defined effortless American elegance

You must link over and see this slide show.
Its about JFK and how He shaped 20th century American style.
These iconic Images are something out of a J.Crew catalog or a Ralph Lauren advertisement. Michael Kors quotes "His unstudied sense of style is a constant touchstone when I design my men's collections each season"

You will truly enjoy this
