Dark 'n' Stormy

The Dark 'n' Stormy is the National Drink of Bermuda and is enjoyed in several countries where England sent its rapers and thieves (Australia among others).

The cocktail consists of traditional Bermudanian drinks: Gosling's Black Seal Rum and Barritt's Ginger Beer. The Ginger Beer is like Ginger Ale, but with an enhanced ginger kick. Black Seal Rum is dark and much more flavorful than other rums from the Caribbean.

To make a Dark 'n' Stormy do the following:

1. Acquire favorite lowball glass
2. Fill with ice
3. Pour 2 0z. of Rum over ice
4. Top with Ginger Beer
5. Stir
6. Enjoy

*If you really want to spiff things up, add some lime slices between steps 3 and 4. You can also add some lime juice to give it a hint of Tropics and a flavorful twist!
