FWIW, IBA recipe does not include lime juice for a Dark 'n' stormy: https://iba-world.com/dark-n-stormy/

With dark/black rum it is indeed a Dark 'n' Story, it's also a Rum Buck.

It's a very refreshing cocktail even more with homemade spiced rum.

Great summer drink. We used half sugar syrup and I think we could leave it out and it would still be enjoyable.

I don't think it requires the sugar syrup

Now there's a tasty summer/hot weather drink. I'm going to have to test it with a variety of Spices Rums. Delicious.
