help Dark 'n' Stormy FAQ
Does a real Dark 'n' Stormy have to use Goslings Black Seal Rum?
Goslings owns the Dark 'n' Stormy trademark and specifies its Black Seal Rum for the branded drink. A similar cocktail made with another rum may be delicious, but bars often give it a different name.
What are the official proportions for a Dark 'n' Stormy?
Goslings publishes a recipe using 2 ounces of Black Seal Rum and 6 ounces of ginger beer. It is served over ice, with the rum floated on top before the drink is stirred.
Is lime juice part of the traditional Dark 'n' Stormy recipe?
Goslings lists a lime wedge as an optional garnish rather than a required measure of juice. Adding lime juice makes the drink brighter and more acidic, closer in structure to a rum-based highball such as a Moscow Mule variation.
Why is the Dark 'n' Stormy associated with Bermuda?
The cocktail developed in Bermuda around the combination of local Goslings Black Seal Rum and ginger beer. Goslings calls it Bermuda's national cocktail.
