About The Dark 'n' Stormy

The Dark 'n' Stormy is a bold, refreshing cocktail known for its dramatic appearance and spicy flavour profile. Originating in Bermuda, this drink is made by combining dark rum with ginger beer, typically served over ice and garnished with lime. What sets the Dark 'n' Stormy apart is its iconic layered look, ginger beer on the bottom, dark rum floating on top, creating a “stormy” visual effect that mirrors its name. It’s a go-to cocktail for those who enjoy rich, deep flavours balanced by a fizzy, citrusy kick.

Making a Dark 'n' Stormy is as easy as it is impressive. Start by filling a highball glass with ice and pouring in a quality ginger beer - spicy and effervescent options work best. Then, slowly float the dark rum over the top by pouring it gently over the back of a spoon. This method keeps the layers visually distinct while allowing the flavours to gradually merge. While lime juice isn’t officially part of the original recipe, a squeeze of fresh lime adds brightness and balances the drink’s richness beautifully.

The Dark and Stormy is a staple in the world of rum cocktails, appreciated for both its taste and its simple preparation. It’s perfect for warm weather, casual gatherings, or anyone looking for a drink that's well-liked by everyone and easy to drink. With its roots in maritime culture and a strong Caribbean identity, the Dark 'n' Stormy has earned its place among the most iconic cocktails—and it continues to grow in popularity among home bartenders and professionals alike.
