Dark 'n' Stormy
An impressive cocktail that is visually reminiscent of a storm over the ocean, showing the joy and danger that are inseparable at sea.
60 ml dark rum
90 ml ginger beer
15 ml lime juice
Put ice in a tall glass (highball) and pour over the ginger beer. Add lime juice, and then slowly pour in the dark rum so that it remains on the surface. Decorate with a slice of lime. It can also be made the opposite way round, pouring the ginger beer in at the end.

Ingredients: For the Boozy Tea
8-10 Black and Orange Pekoe Tea bags
Amaretto
Frangelico
Bailey’s Irish Cream
Kaluha
Vanilla Coffee Creamer
Tea kettle full of water
Sweetened whipping cream - optional
Ingredients: For the Vanilla Coffee Creamer
2 cups heavy cream
⅓ pure maple syrup
Seeds from 2 vanilla bean pods or 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions: For the Creamer:
Combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until steaming, stirring to combine everything well.
Let cool. Transfer to a glass jar with a lid and keep refrigerated up to 7 days.
Instructions: For the Tea:
Bring the water in the tea kettle to a boil. Add in the tea bags and let steep according to directions.
Fill each mug or glass with ½ - 1 ounce of each of the liquors - more if you want it stronger. Add in the tea and then add in a few teaspoons of the creamer. Top with whipped cream if desired and sip while hot. This is best for large coffee mugs so you don’t end up with a mug of mostly booze. Or, maybe that works too…

Created by Masa Urushido.
In the early 1980s while hiking along Oakville’s southwestern ridge, H. William Harlan discovered an isolated territory. The hidden expanse—ancient and untamed—moved him deeply, but remained elusive until the Harlan family finally captured it in 2008. As the second generation explored and worked with the land, they began to make discoveries of their own. At the core of this wild terrain they found a powerful geologic convergence, which had shaped its steep, rugged topography, and created the conditions for an altogether exotic winegrowing environment. Over time they found that the dramatic landscape—just beyond the edge of the known—would slowly change them, and ultimately inspire a new endeavor: Promontory.

During the 1950s and 1960s, over fifty western movies were filmed in the area. When the day’s shooting was done, the wood walls echoed with the talk and laughter of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Legends like John Wayne, James Stewart, Donna Reed, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Rock Hudson, Glen Ford and Joan Crawford were known to enjoy the warm fire and welcoming atmosphere. Even Elvis was said to frequent the tavern while filming 1968’s Stay Away Joe.
