Get Blown Over By The Perfect Storm, A Vodka Play On A Dark & Stormy

With her home base Sportsman's Club located in a once-Polish neighborhood in Chicago, bartender Laura Kelton created this variation on the Dark & Stormy cocktail using a Polish bison grass vodka in place of the traditional rum.

"Despite vodka's reputation as a flavorless spirit, Zubrowka has a great spice structure with hints of cinnamon and vanilla, complementing the spicy ginger beer," Kelton said.

Kelton finishes the cocktail with a float of Black Strap rum that creates an appealing layered effect.
