Ingredients
- 60 ml Dark rum
- 120 ml Ginger beer
- 15 ml Lime juice
- Garnish Lime wedge
Preparation
- Build in a highball glass over ice.
- Add lime juice, ginger beer.
- Float dark rum on top. Don't know how? Pour slowly over the back of a bar spoon held just above the surface so the liquid sits on top rather than mixing in.
- Garnish with lime wedge. A wedge is a thick, lengthwise slice — usually a quarter or eighth of the fruit.
Origin Story
The Dark 'n' Stormy cocktail is believed to have originated in Bermuda in the 1920s, where it was created by sailors using dark rum and ginger beer. It has since become a signature drink of the island, often associated with its tropical climate.
