Mamie Taylor (Scotch Mule)

This one I basically got from 7th Grand here in Los Angeles, though my ratios may be a bit different. It's a Scotch Mule.

2 ounces scotch (I like JW Black)
3/4 ounce lime juice
3/4 ounce ginger syrup
2-3 ounces soda

Fill with ice and top with soda.

See my post about ginger syrup to see how that is made. If you click on the ginger syrup tag that should show you that post (along with other delicious cocktails involving ginger syrup.)

Dark and Stormy (Rum Mule)

Note this isn't a "Dark N' Stormy" it's a Dark AND Stormy, because i don't use goslings, or ginger beer for that matter! I will say that this drink is far superior. In my opinion, the perfect Rum Mule.

1 1/2 ounce Ron Zacapa 23 year
3/4 ounce smith and cross
1 ounce lime juice
1 ounce ginger syrup (sometimes i add a little extra dash because it's the best)
3 ounces sodea

Fill with ice, top with soda.

See my post on Ginger Syrup to see how to make THAT. If you click the ginger syrup tag, it should show up (along with other great recipes that include ginger syrup)
