Dark 'n' Stormy Cocktail

I used a good local beer in this cocktail, Appalachian Ginger Beer. One of the best goshdarn cocktails I've had in a LONG time. This might just be my new favorite drinks.

Be sure it's GOSLINGS dark rum, not just any dark rum!

Simple yet delicious!

Please take the advice about using Gosling's Black Seal Rum and Gosling's Ginger Beer. This is a great drink with the proper ingredients. It is one of my favorites.

I use Goslings Rum, then I squeeze some fresh lime over the rum and ice.. I add the ginger beer , shake and stir serve over fresh ice...and one more squeeze of lime...but the real way to make it look "dark n stormy " is to pour the ginger beer over the ice then pour the rum it creates a dark cloud .... It looks cool but the first sip is all rum ..

This drink starts out with a wallop, then grows on you! It's delicious --as my friend Ann said, "a good sipping cocktail." And such an attractive drink, too!

This recipe deserves a 5 star rating if you use Gosling's Black Seal Rum (80 proof). I was introduced to this delicious cocktail many years ago when I vacationed in Bermuda and it is my favorite adult beverage.

I used Myers dark rum (arguably the best) and Bundaberg ginger beer (you can get it at World Market). Not bad. Moscow Mule is better. I can find better uses for ginger beer and rum.

I've had many of these while vacationing in Key West. One of my favorites! I'm mostly a beer guy, but you can't go wrong with a dark 'n stormy.

Fantastic I am so hooked on this one its a race between Grey Goose Dirty martini's and this

This was awful. I wasted my money buying the ingredients to make this. Only chose one star because I had to for this rating to go through.

If you play around with different rums, preferably dark or spiced, there's a special taste that develops between the ginger beer and the nice(r) rums (try Zaya or Old Monk, my favorites!)

The mixture is surprising and tasty. It's worth the effort!

Excellent! I squeezed a lime wedge into it. Used Trader Joe's Ginger Beer.

Traditional with Gosling’s ginger beer and dark rum poured on top. Do experiment with other ginger beers.

We enjoyed the Dark and Stormy

not my taste

My very favorite mixed drink of all time. Always brings back memories of my vacations years ago in Bermuda. I remember sitting on the deck at Glen Coe watching the wind surfers clutching at their sails as I sipped quietly in the sun. I agree with other reviewers who suggest using Goslings Black Seal rum. It is the best!

Tastes great, even better with lime juice added.

An excellent simple cocktail with a good bite! Add lime juice to suit. First had this in Bermuda, with Gosling Black Seal Rum. This is the original and best rum for the purpose, hands down. The local ginger beer is from Natrona Bottling Co., and is the best I know of in the area. Difficult to get, however.

a great recipe if you like dark and stormys!

A very strong drink, lots of flavor. I mixed instead of pouring over the top.

I make my Dark & Stormy with Myer Rum...or Pussers. Lots of lime and a good ginger beer with strong floor....delicious! Cheers!

No changes, this was a great drink and was the hit of our engagement party!

Delicious beverage, I recommend the Barritt's Ginger Beer and Gosling's Black Seal rum from Bermuda...I have tasted this cocktail made with a different brand of ginger beer and rum...alas, it just isn't the same!

I loved this, quick and easy. We had spiced dark rum on hand so that is what I used. Have made it several times.

I really enjoyed this! Refreshing! I added a line wedge garnish and made as written.

I used Gosling's Gold Bermudian rum and Barritts Ginger Beer. It was perfect! I felt like I was back at Beach It in Bermuda. Agh, the good old days!

Use a ginger beer with capsicum to really get the kick. A classic cocktail

Don't forget a squeeze of fresh lime. That's the missing ingredient from this recipe that makes this drink delicious

Yum! I made ours with diet ginger beer and it was still amazing.

Super simple. Easy to drink.
