Which cocktail is made with dark rum and ginger beer and is associated with Bermuda?
Answer
Dark ’n’ Stormy
Answer
Dark ’n’ Stormy
The Dark ’n’ Stormy cocktail is made with dark rum and ginger beer and is associated with Bermuda.
The drink is traditionally built by pouring dark rum over ginger beer, often leaving the rum layered above the mixer before the drink is stirred. Its cloudy, dark appearance is said to resemble storm clouds over the sea, which explains the name.
Goslings Brothers, a Bermuda-based rum company, strongly promoted the drink using its Goslings Black Seal Rum. The company has also treated “Dark ’n’ Stormy” as a protected trademark in some jurisdictions, with legal disputes concerning recipes and brand naming.
The cocktail is often compared with the Moscow Mule because both use ginger beer. Their key difference is the base spirit: dark rum in a Dark ’n’ Stormy and vodka in a Moscow Mule.
