Cocktail Description

A Dark 'n' Stormy Highball hits like a Caribbean tempest in a glass, with rich molasses-laden rum floating dramatically over spicy ginger beer.

This classic Bermudian cocktail delivers a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, with Goslings Black Seal's deep caramel and vanilla notes complemented by the sharp, zesty kick of Three Cents Ginger Beer. Whether built as an integrated drink with a quick stir or served dramatically layered, it's remarkably simple to make yet delivers impressive complexity. The squeeze of fresh lime brightens everything, cutting through the richness with citrusy acidity. Perfect for summer gatherings, beachside relaxation, or whenever you need a refreshing yet robust cocktail, the Dark 'n' Stormy Highball pairs wonderfully with seafood dishes, spicy Caribbean cuisine, or even a simple cheese plate featuring sharp cheddars or smoked gouda.
