I've written about the Dark & Stormy (or rather the Dark 'n' Stormy) before, but they keep popping up in my life. At the beach there was an ample stash of Barritt's Ginger Beer, which led us to make Dark & Stormies with dark rum and a squeeze of lime. I also had a few Dark & Stormy slushies at Mother's Ruin over the weekend. In my book, I prefer a super-spicy ginger beer, like Fever-Tree (it literally made me sneeze the first time I tried it) and the traditional Goslings Black Seal rum.
Dark & Stormy
2 ounces of Goslings Black Seal Rum
3-5 ounces of your preferred ginger beer
Pour the rum into a collins glass filled with ice. Add ginger beer to fill. Garnish with a lime wedge and a straw and let your guests stir their own.
