Sailor's Stew

After enough rum, the definition of a “stew” becomes negotiable

Not Dead Yet, Chapter 38 - Ahoy

Apparently putting rum in a mug with spices counts as cooking...

​

Dark rum, lime, bitters, ginger beer, nutmeg, and allspice make this very liquid “stew” spicy, sharp, and suspiciously effective at improving morale.

​

Serve it over ice if you are feeling civilized, or at room temperature if you are feeling nautical. Either way, no spoon required. 

  • 2 oz (60 ml) dark rum

  • ½ oz (15 ml) lime juice

  • 1 dash Angostura bitters

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

  • 1 pinch ground allspice

  • 3 oz (90 ml) ginger beer 

  • 1 Lime cut into wheels (or wedges)

  • cinnamon sticks

 

1. Combine all ingredients except ginger beer in a mug. 

2. Top with ginger beer, stir gently.

3. Garnish with a lime wheel and cinnamon stick

 

You can drink this room temperature (sailor style) or add ice.
