Ingredients

½ ounce fresh squeezed lime juice, from half a lime
½ cup Gosling's Ginger Beer, cold
1½ ounces Gosling's Black Seal Bermuda Black Rum
1 slice fresh lime, for garnish

Instructions

Fill a 10-ounce highball glass with ice (approximately 1 cup).
Add the freshly squeezed lime juice over the ice, followed by the Goslings Ginger Beer.
Slowly pour the Gosling’s Black Seal Bermuda Black Rum into the glass, being very careful not to disturb the layer of the ginger beer. You want to have two distinct layers for presentation.
Garnish the rim of the glass with a thin slice of fresh lime.

Notes

Ginger beer is NOT the same as ginger ale. Ginger beer is non-alcoholic, so it is typically sold in the soda aisle, and not the beer aisle, of your grocery store. You need to use the Ginger Beer for an authentic Dark and Stormy cocktail.
To achieve that visually stunning layering effect, make sure all your ingredients are properly chilled. This includes chilling the ginger beer and rum before you begin.
A full glass of ice is crucial for both chilling the cocktail and creating a proper layered effect. The ice helps slow down the pour of the rum, aiding in layer separation.
