Moonriver Bar #17 - Dark and Storm King's Thunderstep

The Dark and Stormy is often considered a variation on a Mule.  A little alcohol and some ginger beer.  However, for my first casual Drinking and Dragons, I was inspired by an excellent barkeep online who shared 

The Classic Dark and Stormy

The Dark and Stormy is a classic for a reason.  It's easy and it's yummy.  Don't try so hard.

Take your desired glass.
Pour in 2 oz of dark rum
Then fill the rest with Ginger Beer
If you're feeling sassy, splash in a little lime juice and ice.

The Storm Giant - by Palm Of Vecna, via Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies

I wish I could take credit for this one.
  There's an excellent channel on the YouTubes called Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies.  The creator ran a separate show for a brief time called "The Tavern" where he shares, mixes, and tastes drinks he's drafting.  It's good content and you should check it out (click the name in the section title above).  One of his cast members created this beauty.

STORM GIANT RECIPE
3 oz Kraken or Oakheart rum
1.5 oz Moonshine
1 can of Ginger Beer
Pour this simple mix into a large mug with ice and enjoy!

The Thunderstep (Den Draft)

The first time I mixed The Storm Giant, it absolutely required ice and a straw due to sheer volume.  It was also bloody tasty, so I wanted to try my hand at something similar.  I wanted it to be yummy and STRONG, without knowing it.  So you enjoy it, then feel the thunder.  Just like a certain spell I know.  Warning: this is a One Drink Wonder.  Make one and done.

THUNDERSTEP RECIPE
4 oz Captain Morgan (spiced rum)
4 oz Root Beer liqueur
3 oz Moonshine
1 can of Dr. Pepper

Pour all into a large goblet or stein, add ice, sit back, and enjoy.

It makes a lot.  It IS for a GIANT, after all.
