Dark and Spooky Cocktail

Submitted by Sooz Cooks

"From Food Network Magazine by Claire Robinson this is like a REALLY fun Halloween cocktail and the picture here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/claire-robinson/claire-robinsons-dark-and-spooky-recipe/index.html is great! I love the Dark & Stormy drink that this seems to be a take on (made with Gosling's Black Seal dark rum and Bermudian ginger beer). Suggestion would be to give your guests a swizzle straw to drink this through, or just use white sugar for the rim of the glass or they just MIGHT end up with green or black lips!"
