The Darby

Nate, a fellow American expatriate and Chelsea supporter, has invented a great drink with a classic name. You can order it especially at our local English-speaking dive, Hairy Mary's:

The Darby
2 oz. Maker's Mark Bourbon
Ginger Ale
1/2 Lime, squeezed and placed in glass.
Ice cubes (if you can find them in Europe in the Summer)

Simple, yet effective, and damned tasty. It's basically a bourbon highball, but the key ingredient is the half lime.
