No reviews

The Dark and Stormy Cocktail is a bold, refreshing mix of dark rum, spicy ginger beer, and a splash of lime. With its rich flavor and striking layered look, it’s a simple yet impressive drink perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 oz dark rum

5 oz ginger beer

Ice

Lime wedge or wheel, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill the Glass: Start by chilling a highball glass. You can do this by filling it with ice and letting it sit while you prepare the other ingredients.
  2. Combine the Ingredients: Fill the mixing glass with ice, dark rum and ginger beer. Carefully pour the ginger beer over the back of a spoon held just above the rum and ice. This helps to create a layered effect, with the darker rum mixture at the bottom and the lighter ginger beer on top.
  3. Garnish: Garnish the cocktail with a slice of lime.

Notes

This is a very easy reciped to scale up and serve by the jug, just don’t make it too much ahead of time as the ice will melt diluting the flavor (or go a little more heavy handed on the rum to compensate for this!)
