Dark and Stormy

2 oz Gosling’s Black Rum

Fill ginger beer

½  Lime (optional)

cucumber (optional)

ginger (optional)

 

The used preparation technique is Build in a Tumbler/Old Fashioned/Juice. As the tradition dictates, to prepare cocktails of this family the lime juicemust be poured before, then the distillate, then we will have to fill the glass with ice and finally add the fill of ginger beer. We can mix the cocktail directly with straws.

This drink is a registered trademark Gosling’s. The story tells that a barman served a sailor a glass of ginger beer and another one with the Gosling’s Black Rum; when poured rum over the ginger beer, the sailor said: “That’s a storm cloud neither a fool nor a dead man would sail under!”
