A Dark & Stormy is a yummy and simple cocktail made with dark rum and ginger beer. I add a little simple syrup and lime juice and garnish it with lime. I like to serve this drink in stemless wine glasses for a moodier vibe than in the traditional highball glass. Add vodka if you prefer more of a “mule” type cocktail. ⁠

Ingredients

  • 2 ounces dark rum
  • 4 ounces ginger beer
  • 2 ounces simple syrup, optional
  • 1 lime, juice from 1/2 the lime and the other have sliced for garnish
  • 1/2 cup ice, plus cubes for glasses

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients including simple syrup, if using, to a shaker. Shake well and pour over ice, and garnish with a lime slice.
