Dark & Stormy

The Washington Post, May 30, 2007
  • Course: Beverage
  • Features: Fast

Summary:

This is the semi-official cocktail of Bermuda, and it usually calls for Gosling's Black Seal Rum. Be sure to use ginger beer (and not ginger ale) for a bold kick.

If you leave out the fresh ginger and replace the dark rum with vodka, you'll have created another refreshing drink called the Moscow Mule.

1 serving

Ingredients:

  • Ice
  • 1 to 2 coin-size slices peeled ginger root (optional)
  • 2 ounces dark rum, preferably Gosling's Black Seal
  • 3 to 4 ounces chilled ginger beer
  • 2 thin lime wedges, for garnish

Directions:

Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice and add the ginger. Add the rum and stir. Top with the ginger beer. Squeeze the lime wedges over the drink and drop them in.
