Dark 'n Stormy

Steven Indzeoski -

I really enjoy a good ginger beer and have been on the lookout for more ginger beer cocktails. The Dark 'n Stormy has a really nice pairing between the spicy notes of ginger beer and the sweet notes of dark rum. Most recipes you find for this drink have lime as just a garnish, but I think adding some to the drink itself is a nice improvement.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Goslings Black Seal Rum
  • 15 ml lime juice
  • Ginger beer (my favourites are Fever Tree or Cock & Bull)
  • Glass: Highball
  • Garnish: Lime wedge

Instructions

Add the lime juice and ginger beer to an ice-filled highball glass, about 3/4 full.

Float the black rum on top using the back of a bar spoon.

Garnish with a wedge of lime.

Stir before drinking. (If you don't care about the presentation you can add the rum first instead of floating it on top.)
