Dark ‘n’ Stormy – Olimax' Extreme Lunching

Dark ‘n’ Stormy

  • 75 ml good dark rum
  • 200 ml Fever-Tree ginger beer
  • Angostura butters

Half fill a pint glass with large cubes of ice. Pour in the rum then top up with ginger beer. Splash a few shakes of Angostura on the top and give it a little swirl. There’s your storm right there.

Goslings from Bermuda, makers of Goslings Black Seal rum since 1857, trademarked Dark ‘n’ Stormy and technically this is the only rum you should use. Well bobbins to that. It is decent spiced rum and works well in the context but nobody wants their choice of spirit dictated to them. Drink what you wish and be damned. Let them sue.

For this cocktail, like most, it is the quality of the ingredients that make and shape it. Personally Angostura 1919 and Fever-Tree ginger beer is the ultimate combination. Each to their own though.
