Dark 'N' Stormy Cocktail Recipe

The Dark ’n Stormy is an icon of simple refreshment: spicy ginger beer and lime built long over ice with a float of Gosling’s Black Rum. The official spec is trademarked, but the appeal is universal—peppery ginger heat, citrus snap, and a dark molasses backbone that rolls in like storm clouds. This Dark ’n Stormy recipe is fast, bold, and irresistibly drinkable.
