The Dark and Stormy originated in Bermuda. It became an informal drink when sailors started mixing ginger beer and Rum on the island to counter sea sickness.

A Dark and Stormy cocktail is a highball drink that's similar to the Moscow Mule. However, it uses dark liquor instead of vodka. The dark rum provides a rich, buttery flavor and delicious flavors of molasses. The ginger beer gives it a refreshing taste, and the lime squeeze cuts through the sweetness while intensifying the spice profile.
This is a simple cocktail you can make at home. Use the right ingredients to create a refreshing, delicious drink.
You will need 2 ounces Goslings Black Seal vodka, 5 ounces fresh ginger beer, and 1 ounce of Goslings Black Seal lime juice. You can also garnish it with a lime wedge to add some zing.
It is important to use the most dark rum possible to give the drink a deep flavour and rich appearance. A dark rum from the Caribbean is a better match for ginger beer.

The uniqueness of this recipe lies in the addition of a spicing component. This combines the Gosling’s Black Seal rhum's caramel, vanilla and mole-y flavours with ginger beer's fresh effervescence. The resulting drink is full of flavor and makes a beautiful addition to any bar's menu!
To make this cocktail, you'll need to buy Gosling’s Black Seal rum at your local supermarket or specialty rum shop. It is made from a family recipe passed down through the generations. The rum is extremely delicious and you will not find another bottle.
Once you've bought the ginger beer and rum you will need to fill up a highball glass filled with ice. Top with the rum and then the ginger beer in layers.
