Dark ’n’ Stormy
A citrusy and spicy sour built around rum, with the classic proportions and service that make the Dark ’n’ Stormy endure.
“Look at this Dark ’n’ Stormy—clean hit, no replay needed, and nobody had to miss the game.”
WHY THIS DRINK WORKS
The Dark ’n’ Stormy works because dark rum, ginger beer, lime wedge meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method layered, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
