Las Vegas gets its dark and stormy summer monsoon days. However, it’s still too darn hot for a comforting hot toddy even at Lake Mead on a beach or up at the Mt. Charleston Lodge.
Here’s a recipe for a quite delightful cool toddy cocktail that will leave you unmindful of the humidity. Sit back and relax. Enjoy the patter of rain, the roll of thunder and even a flash of lightning or two while you sip and savor the dark rum, spicy ginger and tangy lime juice of a Dark & Stormy.
