DARK & STORMY COCKTAIL

Combine dark rum, ginger ale and citrus to make a classic dark & stormy. Once you've mastered the cocktail favourite, try our three twists...

Provided by Alice Lascelles

Categories     Cocktails, Drink

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

50ml dark rum
25ml fresh lime juice , plus a wedge to serve
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
5ml sugar syrup (optional)
100ml chilled ginger beer (a good fiery variety)

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients in a Collins or Highball glass over lots of ice, stir gently and garnish with a wedge of lime. 3 TWISTSOrange muleBring a sunburst of citrus to the brooding dark & stormy by making it with two dashes of orange bitters instead. Angostura orange bitters will give the drink more spicy, marmalade notes, while Bitter Truth orange bitters taste much more of freshly-peeled orange zest. Then make the drink as normal and garnish with a lime wedge. Minty muleTake inspiration from the mojito and mix up a dark & stormy twist with 50ml dark rum, 25ml lime juice, bitters and ginger beer served over crushed ice, garnished with a wedge of lime and a fragrant sprig of mint (for best results, give the mint a clap between your palms before tucking it into the drink as this will help to release the aromatic oils). Then add two straws and enjoy. Mexican muleTequila really loves ginger and lime and all three come together beautifully in this Mexican twist on the mule. Just make the drink as normal but instead of rum, use a nice lightly-aged reposado tequila like Ocho or Olmeca Altos - it will give the drink a whole new layer of interest.

DARK AND STORMY



Dark And Stormy image

In 2004, William L. Hamilton waxed poetic about the Dark and Stormy, describing it both as "a drink traditionally associated with sailing and the manly habit of appearing to keep one's balance while determinedly losing it" and as "a spicy and spritzed two-legged, walk-the-decks kind of drink with a lime wedge perched at the top like a pirate's parrot." This version, adapted from Red Sky, a restaurant on Mount Desert Island in Maine, uses a combination of Gosling's Black Seal rum and AJ Stephans ginger beer. Simple to prepare - no shaking or stirring involved - mix one up and enjoy it on a sweltering summer night. And don't forget the lime wedge.
