How to Make a Dark and Stormy | Bermuda's Signature Cocktail Recipe

What is a Dark and Stormy?

Simply put, a Dark and Stormy (otherwise known as Dark ‘N’ Stormy) is a cocktail served on the rocks in a highball glass with dark rum and ginger beer and garnished with a fresh slice of lime.

We first got tried the Dark and Stormy at its classic home—in Hamilton, Bermuda. Crisp turquoise waters surrounding, we checked into the Hamilton Princess to find the supplies to make a Dark and Stormy there waiting for us on the balcony. The humidity hit us like an ocean wave, but looking out to the paradise beyond was enough inspiration to take a seat in the sun and enjoy a taste of Bermuda’s most coveted beverage.
