Bermuda's Signature Cocktail: Dark 'N' Stormy #EattheWorld

By

 

Welcome to the November 2022 event of  our #EattheWorld project, being spearheaded by Evelyne of CulturEatz. Here's her challenge. 


This month, we are sharing recipes from Bermuda, here's the #EattheWorld line-up..

Dark 'N' Stormy

I am not a huge fan of rum. I'm more of a gin gal. However, Jake loves rum. So, when I saw that Bermuda's signature cocktail used rum, I took the opportunity to make him a special libation. Cheers!

The actual cocktail uses Gosling's brand dark rum and ginger beer. I used a rum distilled in Trinidad and Tobago; the ginger beer is from the United Kingdom. So, not traditional Bermuda ingredients, but - Jake reported - tasty nonetheless.

Ingredients makes one cocktail
  • ice cubes or chilled ice stones
  • 2 to 3 slices of fresh ginger (I used a mandolin slicer)
  • 2 to 3 slices of organic lemon (I used a mandolin slicer)
  • 2 ounces dark rum
  • 4 to 6 ounces ginger beer

Procedure
Fill an old fashioned glass with ice cubes. Wedge the ginger slices between the cubes and the glass and pour in the rum. Top with ginger beer. Float lemon slices on top to garnish. Serve.

That's a wrap for this month's tabletop adventure to Bermuda. We'll be back next month posting recipes from another country. Stay tuned!

    We love ginger beer! And now we have dark rum leftover from making rum cake. This might happen ;) .

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
