The Dark and Stormy is a legendary cocktail that balances the rich, deep flavors of dark rum with the sharp, spicy bite of ginger beer. It is a refreshing drink with a surprisingly complex flavor profile that suits any occasion.
To craft the perfect version, fill a tall glass with plenty of ice cubes. Pour in four ounces of quality ginger beer and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for a vibrant citrus lift.
Slowly float two ounces of Captain Morgan Dark Rum over the surface of the ginger beer. This creates a striking layered effect in the glass before you stir it all together.
Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and enjoy the invigorating contrast of sweet molasses and spicy ginger.
