A friend first told me about this drink years ago. She is a non-drinker, but she loves Dark and Stormys (something about a romantic evening with her husband in Bermuda).
Anyway, I tried to make a couple probably 15 years ago, for my mother and me. We hated them, couldn't drink them, tossed them out.
Yesterday, I was in line at the package store, and the guy in front of me had a bottle of Gosling's Black Rum and a bottle of Gosling's Ginger Beer.
Being the suggestible person that I am, I HAD to go back to the store today and buy some for myself. There's got to be a reason why Sally, a non-drinker, loves this drink, and I want to try it again.
The bottle of rum suggests putting ice in a tall glass, adding 4.5 ounces of ginger beer and 1.5 ounces of black rum to it. Lime optional.
Have any of you made these? If so, does that sound right?
I might save the drinks for a dark and stormy night in the future.
