About this drink
The original Dark 'n' Stormy comes from Bermuda, where dark rum and sharp ginger beer have been partners for generations. This version borrows some Caribbean sunshine by adding pineapple, as juice in the glass and a caramelised slice on the rim, for extra depth and sweetness. The result is fruitier and rounder than the spiky original, and made for warm summer evenings.
