Storming the Castle?

[aroraborealis]

The drink's name is "Storming the Castle". What's in it and what are the proportions?

razil, blivious and I will be testing the winning submissions the next time I visit them, perhaps in August. Those we test and the favorite(s) of those will be announced here.

Well, let's see. If a "Dark and Stormy" has rum and ginger beer, then it should have rum, since I think that's the "storm" part. So what's "castle"-y? Mead? So let's say mead and dark rum, 2 to 1.

Alternately, D points out that it could be Newcastle, because hey, castle! Same proportions as a Dark and Stormy, but with beer rather than ginger beer.

I thought that the rum was the dark part, and the ginger beer was the storm (it's all spicy and that). Though when I saw the title I immediately thought, "mmmmm, rum."

Newcastle makes perfect sense, of course. But now I'm thinking of something like McEwan's, because "castle" means "Scotch" to me. So I'm thinking either Newcastle or McEwan's, mixed one-to-one with ginger beer. Kind of like a shandy.

And maybe a shot of rum anyway, because, mmmmmm, rum.
