I had a dream, I was sailing, I was happy, I was even smiling. Then I looked down and saw that I was on a multi-hull and woke up suddenly in a cold sweat.
Ice
1/4 lime
2 ounces dark rum (recommended: Goslings Black Seal Bermuda Black Rum)
10 ounces of ginger beer (recommended: Milligan's Island Tropical Mango Ginger Beer)
Lime wedge, for garnish, optional
Fill a 12-ounce glass with ice. Squeeze the lime wedge over the ice in the glass. Drop the wedge into the glass. Pour the rum into the glass. Add the ginger beer. Stir lightly and garnish with another lime wedge, if desired.
Nice recipe Cam, but I like my dark and stormy simple. Any good dark rum over ice in a tall glass topped off with a quality Ginger beer. After 4 or 6 you need to keep it simple. And never use Ginger ale.
G*ySgt where is BevMo? Sailings is of this week lots to do hope to replace Stays when my Top climber arrives.

It has to be Goslings Rum to be a Dark n' Stormy, since the name is trademarked by Goslings.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Strange to see a D&S recipe from the White Horse Tavern with "Milligan's" ginger beer. With Newport's close connection to Bermuda, just about every drinking establishment on the island uses Barritts.
I personally like it without the lime.

They do go over well, as I made them at my going-away party in Texas last year, and they were a big hit. Don't drink them myself, because I don't like hard liquor.

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to share my experience with Goslings recently introduced Ginger Beer. Its "da bomb". We were introduced to Dark and Stormy's using the "Offical" ingredients of Goslings Dark and Barritts and loved them. However we found it next to impossible to find Barritts in our area. We tried a bunch of different substitutes some of which were tolerable, some just awful.
Well now, Goslings is making their own Ginger Beer and for whatever reason, it seems to be available at most beverage stores in our area. The good news is it indistuguishable from Barritts and far, far better than anything else we've been able to find. So if you like "real" Dark and Stormy's and can't find Barritts look for the Goslings and know it'll make a great D&S. Good Drinkin'!
I'm quite happy to sip Goslings when I can find it (seems that only higher-end liquor stores carry it in the US) and I like ginger beer.
Maybe the reason I've always thought a D&S was a waste of both, was that the few I tried were made with the wrong ginger beer. If you can find a supermart with a Jamaican ethnic food section--that's often where the ginger beers are in the US.
For some reason, Bermudian Ethnic Food just hasn't made it into many supermarkets yet. (I suppose they discourage it, to prevent too many tourists from coming down for the real thing?)
