Cajun Storm aka Louisiana Dark and Stormy Ginger Beer Cocktail

 Dark and Stormy
Today is my husband’s birthday and I thought what better drink to make him than a Dark and Stormy, which is a combo of two of his favorites: Ginger Beer and Rum. But to mix it up a bit I decided to make a Louisiana Cajun version, in honor of the state we live in. I substituted Cajun Spiced Rum and instead of the traditional lime garnish I used a spicy pickled okra. Oh, and if that wasn’t enough Cajun for ya, I rimmed the cup in Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning. 
As Ashton said, “This drink is intense!” but it was a hit with the birthday boy and I hope you’ll give it a try too! 
How cool is this copper mug from Reed’s?
 I gave this to Ashton as a Valentine’s Day present and it’s now one of his signature drink cups! 
Only a few ingredients make up this Cajun inspired drink- including Reed’s Ginger Brew, Cajun Rum, and a spicy rim and garnish.

Ingredients: 

Makes two drinks
  • 12 oz bottle Reed’s Ginger Beer
  • 4 oz Cajun Spiced Rum
  • ice
  • 2 spicy pickled okra, as garnish
  • Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning, for rimming glass

Directions:

  • Dab water or juice from the pickled okra garnish around rim of 2 glasses.
  • Pour Creole seasoning onto a plate and dip the cups rim in the seasoning to rim both glasses.
  • Fill cups with ice.
  • Pour in rum then add ginger beer to the top.
  • My husband likes to stir with the pickled okra then make a cut in the side and put it on the side of the glass as a spicy garnish.
  • Drink up (or sip!) and enjoy! Be careful- it’s intense! 

 

 
Start by wetting the rim of the glasses and dipping them in Creole seasoning.
Now fill with ice cubes.
Pour in 2 ounces of rum.
And top with 1/2 a bottle of ginger beer.
 Stir and garnish with a pickled okra.
 Ashton taking his first sip….it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted! 
This drink has a Cajun kick! 
 The Cajun Storm would make a fun party drink- but be warned it’s not for sissies!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
