Ingredients

  • 2 ounces dark rum Goslings Black Seal rum
  • ½ ounce lime juice
  • 5 ounces ginger beer
  • 1 slice lime to garnish
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Fill a glass with ice.
  • Add ginger beer and lime juice to the glass.
  • Top with rum.
  • Garnish with a lime wheel.

Notes

  • This is a lightly sweet cocktail. If you prefer a sweeter version, add one to two tablespoons of simple syrup and stir in. 
  • The Dark and Stormy cocktail is technically not a mule cocktail and is traditionally served in a highball glass instead of a copper mug. Feel free to use what you prefer. 
  • Floating the rum on the top of the drink is visually pleasing, but if you prefer a less rum-forward first sip, we suggest giving it a stir before serving.
