Dark ‘N’ Stormy Cocktail Story
The Dark ‘N’ Stormy is one of the only a few cocktails in the world that can get you in legal trouble...if you’re not careful. Made with Gosling’s Black Seal rum, a dark, dark rum that’s been knocking sailors off their feet since 1806, and ginger beer over ice with a slice of lime, this quintessentially Caribbean delight just so happens to be registered under two patents with the US Patents and Trademark Office. The official cocktail of Bermuda should only be made with Gosling’s, as other dark rums are criminal to use, both due to the law and also since they don’t impart anywhere close to the level of flavor that Gosling’s does.
