Unleash the Flavors of Bermuda with a Classic Dark ‘n’ Stormy
The Essential Ingredients
Get ready to experience the perfect blend of refreshing and rich with just two essential ingredients: dark rum and ginger beer. This iconic cocktail from Bermuda is a staple for a reason!
The Rum: A Matter of National Pride
For an authentic Dark ‘n’ Stormy, you need Gosling’s Black Seal rum, a Bermudan classic. If you can’t find it, Myers’s dark rum from Jamaica is a suitable substitute, but don’t tell your Bermudan friends! The rich, smooth flavor of dark rum sets the tone for this unforgettable cocktail.
Ginger Beer: The Perfect Counterbalance
Homemade ginger beer is ideal, but if you’re short on time, look for a store-bought option that suits your taste. We recommend Barritt’s, which strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and spice. The kick of ginger beer complements the dark rum beautifully, creating a refreshing harmony of flavors.
Assemble Your Masterpiece
In a tall glass, add several ice cubes and pour in 2 ounces of Gosling’s Black Seal rum. Top it off with 6 ounces of ginger beer and finish with a lime wedge. Stir gently to combine, and you’re ready to savor the flavors of Bermuda!
