I may have found a new favourite drink for the summer! I had it at the Ritz where it was called the Dark and Stormy. However my version is simpler and I’m tempted to call it the Pale and Lazy ;)

• rum – Sainsburys had Morgan Spiced Rum on special offer so I went for that which seems to be doing the job very adequately
• juice of half a lime
• ginger ale
• ice

Bung in a tall glass, swish around a bit… can’t be bothered to faff about with sugar syrup. You don’t even need a cocktail shaker! It’s refreshing and zingy. Mmmm!
