Rick, I remember you talking about Dark & Stormies. Our neighbor just came back today from a 2 week BVI sailing adventure. He said he has fallen in love with this drink. How do you make it? I know you use a certain rum.....he would be happy if I stuck the drink recipe in his mailbox since we are out in two days. Thanks! Jan

Not Rick G, but a D&S fan.
A Dark & Stormy is made with Gosling's Black Seal Rum and Ginger Beer; bitters are optional.
Heard the new Fatty's Crab makes a mean one.

My drink of choice thanks to RickG....I have never substituted for the Goslings Black Seal because I think it has a very distinct flavor, but I can't always find Barritt's Ginger Beer, so I use Vernor's or Ale 8 (which is locally made in KY)instead and I always use lime or bitters(sometimes a bit of both!!)! Enjoy!

Our surf club holds an annual spring fling at our beach shack. This year I set up a D & S tasting:
4 dark rums: Kraken Black Spiced Rum, Goslings, Cruzan Black Strap, Bacardi Black rum (I'm partial to Kraken and Cruzan)
6 ginger beers - the usual suspects and 2 from Shoppers Food grocery: D&G and Goya. These 2 make all other ginger beers seem punchless.
Sunday morning dawn patrol was a fuzzy affair, but with 2xOH bombs and stiff offshores...priceless.
Ginger beer for dark and stormy

Being from upstate NY.. I prefer Saranac Ginger beer- the ginger has just the right snap for the nostrils !!
And their Pale Ale is the best !!
Planning for this February !!
