Perhaps the most appropriate cocktail for a stormy day like today is, of course, the dark & stormy. Here's a round-up of some of the best around town, including a few interesting variations. (Disclaimer: Not all of these places are necessarily open today, so consult the #OpenInBOS list or call the venue directly before venturing out. Better yet, maybe stay dry at home and try one of these drinks later this week instead.)
