So much better with lime, sugar syrup and Angostura (Difford's recipe). I am no fan of this highball version, which is equivalent to Goslings' own (and I did used Goslings Black Seal.

I usually serve this with a stirring rod so that you may stir to the desired level of integration before drinking (same is nice to do for a Garibaldi or Tequila Sunrise). Personally I like stirring a bit so there’s a gradient and the drink starts out with a punch but gets softer with each sip.

Quite tasty and refreshing. The "official" ingredients really de-emphasise that wedge of lime as a mere garnish. If you are going ungarnished (I won't tell if you don't), do add the requisite equivalent of lime juice to the glass.

When was Dark 'n' Stormy first published? Thanks ?

Great cocktail. Easy and few ingredients. We used an organic ginger beer available here in Southern California. Also used a Rhum Barbancourt 5 Star 8 Year old rhum. The rhum is perfect on its own, but was spectacular in this cocktail.

Fill glass with ice to the top
Add the Goslings Ginger beer (you can also use Barritts but i couldn't get hold of any) leaving enough room for the Rum
add the Goslings Black Seal rum, i go for 60ml usually.
Squeeze a wedge of lime over the top and drop in glass
this needs a straw ideally but i don't like straws usually so i make this drink an exception
there are other ways to make it but this way you have the Dark 'N Stormy effect with the different hues of the rum and ginger beer..Enjoy

Been looking at loads of vids and posts on the most authentic way yo make a DNS and there is a world of confusion (to quote a genesis song).I have just bought a case of 24 cans of goslings Ginger Beer and a bottle of Goslings Black Seal Rum as the name Dark 'N Stormy (one apostrophe) to ensure i dont get my door broken down by the trademark police
As far as i understand or the most authentic way to make a DNS is to use a Highball (or Collins apparently) glass.
see next post.........

Ideally it should be Gosling’s GB or Barritts GB.
