Quite summer sunny on the first few sips, with a change in the weather as one ventures deeper into the glass. We love a good storm. But, like other commenters, we dialled back the ginger beer; in our case to 50ml to match the rum.

Definitely the best version of the DnS for me, the lime and sugar make a huge difference here, an excellent drink for a summer evening. I prefer using Reed's ginger beer, as I find its stronger ginger kick works well against the lime.

Q (maybe others I'm not aware of) makes a tropical ginger beer that goes great with this drink. The black rum is very much "at home" with the mango and passion fruit essences in this particular ginger beer. They were made for each other.

This is the best Dark 'N' Stormy. So much more interesting and fullfilling than Goslings' own recipe, which is the same as the simpler highball version linked to above. Lime, sugar syrup and Angostura do their Caribian magic vibe with Goslings Black seal.

a very nice drink; a "dark" and "stormy" (I used worthy park 109) highball that is very nice but nothing more than you'd expect.

Used home made ginger beer following Klaus St Rainer’s recipe, and this was truly a delight. One part fresh ginger juice, 1.5-2 parts sugar, 3 lemon, 10 sparkling mineral/soda water. Really 4.5 if not 5 stars.

Gosling's | Gosling's ging | Super Lemon Juice ... Good with SLJ at 75-80% called-for ratios. tried also with Myer's. more distinctive but gosling's is more balanced

Had this tonight, using 2 rums, Havana club 7 year aged and a botanical infused golden rum, Anno lady Franklin, my ginger beer of choice is Palmers, a Dorset based brewery's ginger beer (I highly reccomend).
I did add a dash of paychauds bitters as well as the angostura, because I had a hankering for their flavour, but absolutely cracking!
