Cocktail Description

The Dark and Stormy Limeade is what happens when a classic Caribbean cocktail gets a zingy, high-octane makeover.



This bold concoction combines the rich molasses notes of Goslings Black Seal with the tropical funk of Wray & Nephew Overproof, creating a rum duo that's both complex and assertive. The Avuá Falernum adds layers of spice, ginger, and almond that perfectly complement the fresh lime juice, which cuts through the richness with bright acidity. Each sip delivers a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tart flavors with a warming finish that lingers pleasantly. This drink shines on warm summer evenings but has enough depth to enjoy year-round when you're craving a tropical escape. Relatively straightforward to prepare, it requires only a good shake and strain, making it accessible for home bartenders with basic equipment. The cocktail pairs beautifully with spicy Caribbean dishes like jerk chicken, coconut shrimp, or anything with a bit of heat that can stand up to its robust flavor profile.
