Dark 'n' Stormy

Bermuda dark rum floated on ginger beer: a storm in a highball.

Ingredients

  • 5 cl dark rum
  • 12 cl ginger beer
  • 1 wedge lime
  • fill the glass ice cubes

Method

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.
  2. Pour in the very cold ginger beer until three-quarters full.
  3. Squeeze the lime wedge over the top and drop it in.
  4. Pour the dark rum SLOWLY over the back of a bar spoon resting on the surface: it should float like a dark cloud.
  5. Do not stir: the gradient is part of the cocktail.
  6. Serve with a straw so everyone can stir, or not, as they please.
