Dark 'n' Stormy
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
Wash the lime and cut it into four wedges, one wedge per Dark 'n' Stormy cocktail. Chilling the glasses and ginger beer beforehand helps keep the drink fizzy longer.
- 2
Chill the ginger beer and the glasses to keep the cocktail fresh and fizzy for as long as possible.
Mixing
- 3
Fill four highball glasses with four ice cubes each. The ice should reach roughly two-thirds up the glass.
- 4
Pour about 150 ml of ginger beer into each glass, leaving space for the rum and any stirring.
- 5
Measure 50 ml of rum for each glass and slowly pour it over the back of a spoon onto the surface so it forms the characteristic stormy layer on top.
Serving
- 6
Garnish each cocktail with a lime wedge.
- 7
If desired, squeeze a little lime juice into the glass and give it one gentle stir.
- 8
Serve immediately while the drink is cold and the ginger beer is sparkling.
More tips:
A spicier ginger beer and rum such as Gosling's are the traditional choice. Always pour the rum last to achieve the pronounced stormy visual effect.
