About this recipe

As creatures of the deep turn up to your house party – otherwise known as your best friends – you need to be well prepared. Thankfully, the Dark n Stormy has all the ingredients for a great party drink. It’s quick n easy to make, delicious and looks great. You can even make the Dark n Stormy cocktail in batches, swirling the dark rum and ginger ale together for that stormy effect, with a squeeze of lime adding some zest to the finish. So get ready to have a whale of a time. Don’t forget to include it for your BBQ party while you’re out in the open air. The Dark n Stormy is the chargrill of cocktails: big flavours, dark in colour and with a no-nonsense approach that will stand up to the food. Just make sure they’ve left you some limes – the marinated chicken or cured fish can wait. Dark n Stormy doesn’t just get its name from great taste and looks, but its boating connections too. Back in the late 1800s the Royal Navy built a ginger beer bottling plant in Bermuda so large that sailors could have a mixer for the dark rum that had long been part of their ration. It could have been the world’s largest ever cocktail, but instead the Dark n Stormy became Bermuda’s national drink, with many a festival on the island accompanied by a Dark n Stormy long after the sailors had left. So invite your crew aboard for a housewarming, hen party or stag do and set sail towards the best times.
