Since I think we all feel like we are shipwrecked at home I thought I would share my keto friendly version known as the Keto Kraken Black Rum Cocktail!<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a double pour in a big glass because...well you know why!<\/p>\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Sometimes you just need a drink.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019re going a little stir crazy being stuck at home and so am I. And though I\u2019m not advocating pouring yourself a cocktail at 10am Monday morning to break up the monotony I do understand that from time to time we could all use an adult beverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark and stormy have always been one of my favorite cocktails mainly because I\u2019m a fan of ginger beer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine that with some fresh squeezed lime juice and your favorite spices rum and you\u2019ve got a tasty beverage you can enjoy on the back porch still wearing your pajamas...I don\u2019t judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Brief History of the Dark & Stormy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The dark & stormy is a refreshing cocktail  made with Dark rum and ginger beer. The name is said to come from a sailor who proclaimed that the cocktails' murky color resembled storm clouds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No one can confirm this story and so the mystery and legend lives on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dark and stormy is known as the unofficial beverage of Bermuda as well as the global sailing community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first mention of the cocktail goes back to sometime after world war 1. It\u2019s said that the drink first appeared at a ginger beer factory owned by a Royal Naval Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sailors began spiking the ginger beer with a healthy dose of dark rum and the rest is history. Today the beverage is served all over the globe but is most popular in the carribean islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Esquire magazine and my friend Athena: technically speaking a Dark and Stormy can only be made with Goslings Ginger Beer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I say if we can make pizza out of cauliflower then you can use whatever ginger beer you like! Viva La Resistance... Or something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
