DARK 'N' STORMY



Dark 'n' Stormy image

One of the byproducts of producing sugar is molasses. This molasses, once fermented, is distilled into rum, which is why some of the early English-style rums were very molasses-heavy. Gosling's comes from that blackstrap molasses tradition and actually has the trademark for the Dark 'n' Stormy. But for this drink, you can use any sort of dark, demerara-style rum.

Ice cubes
Splash of sparkling water (optional)

DARK & STORMY COCKTAIL

Combine dark rum, ginger ale and citrus to make a classic dark & stormy. Once you've mastered the cocktail favourite, try our three twists...

Provided by Alice Lascelles

Categories     Cocktails, Drink

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

50ml dark rum
25ml fresh lime juice , plus a wedge to serve
2 dashes of Angostura bitters
5ml sugar syrup (optional)
100ml chilled ginger beer (a good fiery variety)

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients in a Collins or Highball glass over lots of ice, stir gently and garnish with a wedge of lime. 3 TWISTSOrange muleBring a sunburst of citrus to the brooding dark & stormy by making it with two dashes of orange bitters instead. Angostura orange bitters will give the drink more spicy, marmalade notes, while Bitter Truth orange bitters taste much more of freshly-peeled orange zest. Then make the drink as normal and garnish with a lime wedge. Minty muleTake inspiration from the mojito and mix up a dark & stormy twist with 50ml dark rum, 25ml lime juice, bitters and ginger beer served over crushed ice, garnished with a wedge of lime and a fragrant sprig of mint (for best results, give the mint a clap between your palms before tucking it into the drink as this will help to release the aromatic oils). Then add two straws and enjoy. Mexican muleTequila really loves ginger and lime and all three come together beautifully in this Mexican twist on the mule. Just make the drink as normal but instead of rum, use a nice lightly-aged reposado tequila like Ocho or Olmeca Altos - it will give the drink a whole new layer of interest.

DARK 'N' STORMY MOCKTAIL



Dark 'n' Stormy Mocktail image

Strongly brewed black tea anchors this nonalcoholic take on a classic Dark 'n' Stormy, lending its rich tannins to the final drink. When choosing a black tea, look to Darjeeling, English or Irish breakfast, or Assam. (For something without caffeine, reach for buckwheat tea and increase the brew time to 20 minutes.) The spices in the salted lime cordial are easily shifted to your pantry and preferences. If you don't have ground ginger, totally fine. If you want to add cardamom, go for it. The point is to infuse the cordial with a warmth that complements the ginger beer's sharp spice. Please don't, however, skip the salt. The hit of salinity enhances the cordial's flavors. Leftover cordial - sweet, spiced and deeply sour, can be mixed on its own with sparkling water or tonic or, if you're looking to incorporate it into an alcoholic drink, into a gimlet.

Categories     non-alcoholic drinks

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 14

Finely grated zest from 6 limes
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/4 cups fresh lime juice (from about 6 limes)
2 black tea bags (or 2 tablespoons loose-leaf black tea), such as Darjeeling
Ice
3 ounces Chilled Black Tea
1 ounce Salted Lime Cordial
4 ounces fresh ginger beer
Lime wedge

Steps:

  • Make the cordial: In a medium bowl, combine the lime zest, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, pepper and cloves. Use your fingers to rub the zest and spices into the sugar until the sugar is green and very fragrant. Slowly pour in the lime juice, whisking to combine and dissolve the sugar completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, up to 24. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve; pressing on the solids. (You should have about 1½ cups cordial.) Discard the solids, and keep the cordial in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Make the chilled black tea: In a tea kettle or small saucepan over high heat, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the tea. Allow to steep for 10 minutes, then remove the tea bags or, if using loose-leaf tea, strain through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside to cool completely, then refrigerate. Keep it chilled in the refrigerator, tightly covered in an airtight container, for up to 5 days.
  • Make the cocktail: Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the tea and cordial. Top with ginger beer, stir gently to combine and finish with a lime wedge.
