Dark and Stormy
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.
