DARK ‘N STORMY
The Dark ‘n Stormy is a classic, and the perfect drink to make at home! With only three steps and ingredients including the garnish, it’s also one of the more accessible cocktails to make on a budget. While the exact origin of this cocktail is unknown, it’s likely that sailors were the original enjoyers: the rum combined with the ginger can help to settle queasiness, a perfect refreshing remedy for upset stomachs at sea. Technically, the Dark ‘n Stormy is trademarked and must be made with Goslings Black Seal Rum, a dark rum from Bermuda which the company claims originated the drink. If you use another dark rum, it’s just a tasty rum and ginger. For a citrus twist, replace an ounce of the ginger beer with about a half ounce of fresh lime juice!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Goslings Black Seal Rum
- Ginger beer (about 6 ounces)
- Lime wheel for garnish
Instructions
- Pour ginger beer into a tall glass over ice.
- Top off with dark rum.
- Take the lime wheel, place on top as garnish, and you’re all done!
