Smooth, spicy, and effortlessly classic, the Dark & Stormy Cocktail blends the warmth of dark rum with the bold kick of ginger beer and a touch of fresh lime. It’s a refreshing, layered drink that’s both dramatic in presentation and simple to make — ideal for summer evenings, coastal gatherings, or casual happy hours.
This timeless cocktail captures the perfect balance between zesty and rich. Serve it in a tall glass over ice, and pour the dark rum slowly over the top for that signature “stormy” swirl that makes the drink so eye-catching. A lime wedge adds the final touch for brightness and aroma.
Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in lime juice and ginger beer, leaving room at the top. Pour dark rum on top of the ginger beer.
Garnish with a lime wedge. Serve with a straw and stir before sipping.
