Get Caught in the Storm: Why the Original Dark 'n' Stormy should be your new favourite drink.

Let's set the scene: the sky is moody, the waves are crashing, and in your hand is a drink so bold, so flavourful, it could've been conjured by Poseidon himself. Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic - but the Dark 'n Stormy is that good. Read on to find out from Goslings Rum why this should be front and centre this summer along with Old Jamaica Ginger Beer.

If you haven't met this iconic cocktail yet, let's make the introductions. It's a simple but unforgettable mix: rich, dark Gosling's Black Seal Rum floating over spicy, bubbly ginger beer. One sip, and boom - you're hooked. It's like a Caribbean vacation in a glass, with just enough bite to keep things interesting.

A cocktail with a tale to tell.

The Dark 'n Stormy didn't come out of a fancy bar in New York or Paris - it was born in Bermuda, where British sailors mixed fiery ginger beer with the island's signature black rum. The result? A drink that looked like a brewing storm cloud... hence the name.

And fun fact: this cocktail is actually trademarked. Yup, if you want to call it a real Dark 'n Stormy, you've gotta use Gosling's Black Seal Rum. Anything else is just a knockoff (no offense, but rules are rules).

Why your customers will love it.

  • Zero fuss. No shaking, no syrups, no 12-step bar rituals. Just pour, float, and sip.
  • All the flavour. Sweet, spicy, smooth, and bold - the Dark 'n Stormy hits every note.
  • Total vibes. Whether you're by the beach, on a rooftop, or just chilling at home, this drink sets the mood.

How to make one (The real way)

Grab a highball glass. Fill it with ice. Pour in your favourite ginger beer - why choose any thing else but Old Jamaica Ginger Beer? Float 2 oz of Gosling's Black Seal Rum on top. Optional: garnish with lime. Snap a pic. Toast to the storm. Repeat.

And if you didn't know... Old Jamaica Ginger Beer is the authentic ginger thirst quencher. Heady in both taste and smell, this is an unbeatable Ginger Beer.
