Dark and Stormy is an IBA-recognized New Era Drinks cocktail and the national drink of Bermuda, combining dark rum with ginger beer in a simple but perfectly balanced highball that allows both ingredients to express their full character. At 10.4% ABV, it is a refreshing and accessible cocktail where the molasses depth of dark rum meets the spicy, gingery fizz of ginger beer. Gosling's Black Seal rum, produced in Bermuda, is the traditional and trademarked rum for the authentic version.
History & Origins
Dark and Stormy originated in Bermuda, where Gosling Brothers — who have been producing rum there since the early 19th century — combined their Black Seal rum with the local Barritts ginger beer to create the drink. Gosling Brothers holds a trademark on the name 'Dark 'n' Stormy' when the cocktail is made with their rum. The IBA recognized it as part of its New Era Drinks category, acknowledging its status as a modern classic with genuine geographic heritage.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Dark rum's rich molasses and tropical fruit, with the sharp, spicy ginger of the ginger beer. Palate: The dark rum's deep, complex sweetness and warmth is enlivened by the ginger beer's spicy carbonation; together they create a beautifully harmonious, refreshing drink. Finish: Warm, gingery, and medium-length with a pleasant molasses fade.
Pro Tip
Pour the ginger beer into the glass first and then float the dark rum over the back of a spoon on top for a dramatic two-tone presentation — storm clouds above a dark sea.
