About the Dark ’N Stormy cocktail
The Dark ’N Stormy is a refreshing highball made with dark rum and ginger beer, built over ice. It is spicy, crisp, and deeply refreshing, with ginger beer bringing sharp snap and fizz while the rum adds molasses, vanilla, caramel, and dark fruit notes.
The drink was invented in Bermuda shortly after World War I and is unusual among classic cocktails because its name is trademarked by Goslings. According to the official version, a Dark ’N Stormy should be made with Goslings Black Seal Rum and ginger beer. Many variations add lime juice, simple syrup, or Angostura bitters, but the core appeal remains the same: dark rum, spicy ginger, and a tall, stormy finish.
