Dark and Stormy mixed by MyBeverageGuide
The Dark and Stormy is made with homemade ginger beer and the original goslings Black seal rum. It is a lovely fresh, spicy, and slightly oaky cocktail loved by all our guests who have tried it so far. Making ginger beer is not easy, but it is worth the time and effort.

editor recipe notes
Since the opening, we have been serving the Dark & Stormy cocktail with homemade Ginger Beer.
How do we do it? We combine fresh lemon juice, ginger juice, simple syrup, and water. After we fill it into PET bottles, put a unique cap on and carbonate it by hand. Later on, we pour it into the smaller bottles.
This process already takes some time, but what is really a pain is to squeeze the ginger.
You have to chop the ginger, use a high-quality juicer, and the entire process takes around 4-6 hours just to get 3 liters of ginger juice.
We seal, vacuum the liquid and store it in the freezer. On-demand, we are using it for ginger beer.
