Dark and Stormy

Name: Dark and Stormy
Ingredients: 60 ml The Alpinist Rare Blend Premium Rum; 30 ml fresh lime juice; 200 ml Ginger beer; 3 Dashes of Angostura Bitters; Ice; To garnish: Limes, Mint

The Dark and Stormy has just three ingredients but loads of spice. It’s a close cousin to the Moscow Mule (vodka, ginger beer, lime) and should be an easy change-up for vodka drinkers wanting to try something different. We appreciate the layer of citrus from the lime and the combination of ginger beer with our Rare Blend Rum, which works nicely.

Pro tip: slap the mint spring on your hands a few times to release the aromatic oils.
