Dark and Stormy Cocktail
The dark and stormy cocktail is a simple concoction of smooth rum, spicy ginger beer, and a wedge of lime. Sorta like a grown up soda.
This simple Dark and Stormy cocktail combines the sweetness and spice of ginger, the tropical coconuttiness of rum, and the tang of lime in a sweetly, stiffly satisfying cocktail suitable for dark and stormy weather as well as moods.–Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan
Dark and Stormy Cocktail
Ingredients
Email Grocery List- Crushed ice or ice cubes
- 1/4 cup dark rum (2 oz)
- 3/4 cup ginger beer (6 oz) (NOT ginger ale)
- 1 lime wedge or, if you want to be trendy, chunk of candied ginger
Directions
- 1. Fill a highball glass–or, let’s just be realistic, whatever glass you happen to have handy–with ice.
- 2. Pour in first the rum and then the ginger beer. Stir gently. Garnish with the lime or candied ginger. We think you can handle things from here. Originally published April 20, 2012.
*A Boozier Dark and Stormy Cocktail
- When you crave a relatively tame nip, rely on the genteel proportions of rum to ginger beer in the above recipe. But when you’re partial to something tipsier, turn to the proportions proposed by entertaining designer Lulu Powers in Lulu Powers Food to Flowers: Simple, Stylish Food for Easy Entertaining. Her tactic is to pour 1 1/2 ounces of dark rum over ice, top it with about 1/2 cup ginger beer, and then finish it with the juice of 1/2 lime. (You may as well toss that spent lime into the glass for good measure.) One version isn’t better than the other. Just different.
