- On this episode of How to Drink, I’m taking a look at how to make the perfect Dark and Stormy cocktail. Fun fact, Gosling’s enforces a claim they hold over the copyright of the drink, and requires it to be made with their rum. Which I don’t do here, so however you like to make your Dark and Stormy, I encourage you to do so. Hope you enjoy, cheers!
Dark and Stormy Ingredients:
- .5oz or 15 ml Lime Juice
- 1.5oz or 45 ml Ginger Syrup
- 2oz or 60ml Rum
- Quick Shake
- Top with Setzler
- Garnish with Mint

That “heat” is called “piquancy.” Anything giving a sensation of heat is considered “piquant,” whereas “spice” relates to flavor. Great episode!
Pinning this comment, thanks for the heads up!
This makes "picante" vs "Caliente" in Spanish make much more sense
Piquancy is just a sharp or pronounced flavor or savoriness. It's a synonym with tang in English. For example, the OED uses this as their example sentence: These tomatoes have an intense flavor of great piquancy.
i guess im randomly asking but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account??
I stupidly lost my password. I love any help you can offer me
Funny enough, a local brewery had a beer they called "Dark and Stormy Night" which has since been named "Cease and Desist" for obvious reasons haha...
what, did Alexandre Dumas try to sue them?
@@toslowlypoke No, Goslings did
Bleak and Inclement Weather Night
One the best dark and stormies I ever had was in Beijing where the bar had a vat of dark rum filled with ginger. They would only serve the rum after the ginger had pickled in it for over 2 weeks. It was a very good bar.
That’s pretty wild!
That sounds good. Yum.
........damn that's a great idea......i must get some dark rum and do this.
What's the name of the bar ?
@@frankcervantes8809 sorry I can't remember but it was in Suangjing if that helps... on the main road.
Ah, the REAL how to drink. Not the fake new Greg who doesn't spill and inexplicably cares about precision and technique.
A Shady N Thundery
A Dark n stormy with Gosling is actually delicious - but its very silly to try to trademark it. Its like trademarking Chocolate milk.
I agree, nothing wrong with Goslings at all in the D&S. I just kinda bristle at the copyright issue.
And the other one is "Painkiller" right? Also delicious and the Pusser rum is really needed for the drink - but again why push it with trademarking...
Moala is the best chocolate milk
.ill take a Dark & Stormy ... Crooners at Happy Hour ... ok ?
I usually use Bundaberg
I've made a Dark and Stormy with Zaya rum before. Zaya has vanilla notes that add a nice twist to rum cocktails. It also makes a rum and Coke taste like a vanilla Coke, which I enjoyed a lot.
Yeahhh those spills scratched that itch I've had for the past few episodes.
Thank god, been trying to find a good video for this drink for ages. This channel always deliver.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate you and your show. You are so relaxed and just enjoying yourself and not getting all wound up and getting on a soap box about alcohols like some "expert bartenders" can get. It makes your videos so much more fun to watch.
I watched you for about a year before realizing you weren't subscribed to, my bad good sir, these videos are made a just the right level of entertainment and ingenuity, combined with a relatable host that just makes you wanna just listen and learn. Great job!!!
Call me crazy, but I kinda miss these short-form videos. They're succinct, yet still entertaining.
You could conceivably fire off a bunch of these, then take a vacation and we'd be none the wiser.
Been tinkering with this one while:
Juice of ½ a lime. About ½ oz
½ oz passion fruit syrup
1 oz Hamilton 151
1 oz Wray and Nephew white overproof
1 dash Angostura bitters
Shake with crushed ice.
Dirty dump into Collins glass.
Top with Reed’s extra ginger beer
I just recently got into bar tending/drink making videos, and this channel has just blown me away with its entertainment value, helpfulness, and overall quality of every video. If I could like every video 100 times, I would.
Have been a huge gosling fan for years, thank you so much to introducing me to plantation. WOW, it is a truly fantastic rum!
Dude your intro is perfect, so dinamic and the way that you talk fit so well with the show vibe. And your camera shots during the video make everthing looks so good and soft. Greetings from Brazil, keep doing great
Oh yes! I use the exact same overproof rum in my dark n stormies* with Fever tree ginger beer. It’s also my Friday airline lounge special, as I can usually find all the right ingredients. Love this drink.
I'm having my first Dark and Stormy while watching this. It sizzles down, and thunders back up. I think it might be one of my favorites, now.
One of my favorites! Last year I made fermented ginger beer at home and it worked really well for a Dark and Stormy
Love when a new video goes up. Thanks Greg.
Bod-a-bing! This looks and sounds delish. I’m going to make it this weekend. Thanks😊🥂
I don't drink but every time I watch this How to Drink it felt like I'm tasting it...
TiltedPotatoe Salad this especially is a good one to have that feeling about. Because Dark and Stormy is one of my absolute favorite drinks. It’s delicious
My wife’s FAVORITE. Cocktail, and a new way to make it, I’m in!
You can make a really nice version with fresh ginger thats just muddled with some sirup in the shaker. Then shaken with rum and strained into the glass and topped with selzer. Super fresh taste :)
The best ginger beer I have found is Hollows & Fentimans Ginger Beer 4%, not too sweet, actually fermented, nice kick of ginger, no artificial flavouring. I also found that Goslings rum really doesn't go well with coke but is perfect in a Dark and Stormy, it really needs a strong tasting rum like Gosling or navy proof because the ginger beer will otherwise make it completely disappear.
Agreed on the strong rum, and I LOVE everything Fentiman's makes.
kraken black spiced rum is also quite nice in a dark 'n stormy
Bundaberg is pretty good too. Sweet with a nice kick.
finally a new one with rum loveing your show great job keep it up !
Came across your channel a couple of weeks and I already plan on never missing a video, quality stuff mate!
Thank you!
From what I understand, Gosling only has the trademark on specifically "Dark 'N Stormy." As long as you're not calling it specifically that, it's fine. Apparently to get around this (and I admit I only found this as I was writing this comment to make sure I wasn't wrong about anything) the International Bartender's association calls it a "Dark 'N' Stormy." Though just calling it a "Dark and Stormy" seems to be what most people do.
yep because Bundaberg make and bottle a "dark and stormy" www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_757567/bundaberg-dark-stormy-500ml#!
I appreciate the Magnum PI shirt. When I was in New York I had a “Dark and Extra Stormy” Ever since Ive had it I top mine off with Crystalized Ginger ive never added lime to mine. I usually use Sailor Jerry’s
Dear God where has this channel been hiding? I love it! Do not change a thing! perfect!
Glad you found me!
This has been my new favorite easy cocktail. I like the seltzer idea, but tbh, I've just been using more rum.☺️
I figured you'd have a video on this, and thanks for yet another terrific video!
Fever Tree Ginger beer is great for a Dark and Stormy, packs a real nice heat. And top it with a dash or two of Ango.
One of my favorite drinks
I make it with kraken and ginger beer awesome episode !
I like using Reed's stronger ginger brew and Myers's rum, sometimes with a float of Smith and Cross. If you had a bar and wanted to serve that drink and didn't want Gosling's to come after you, you could call it Jamaican Me Crazy
Great drink, glad you made the chaser to make your own ginger syrup.
That’s a perfect transition to autumn 🍂 drinks 🍹
This looks way better than my Dad’s shot of Kraken spiced rum and a bottle of alcoholic ginger beer recipe
Bring back 3-drink Greg!
This is he
you poor thing lol!!! somebody get this hardworking man an umbrella!!! HEY!!!!
greg you are the MAN. big fan bro keep it up
Morgenthaler has a super easy and awesome Ginger Beer recipe that I like to use if I have the time. Otherwise I tend to use Fever Tree because you simply cannot go wrong there. Keen to try out your recipe and make a few penicillins along the way.
My friend and I used to drink dark and stormies paired with cigars! Good memories
My rum of choice for DnS is Cruzan Black Strap. It has a dark molasses sweetness that blends with ginger and lime juice.
I love Dark and Stormy as a cocktail because I love ginger beer. Whenever I ask for it, it always gets made with Bacardi lol.
A bleak and inclement weather, I like it 😂
mmm...a great drink for a warm day
Best Dark n Stormy I ever had was in Annapolis, MD (a Sailor’s town with a drinking problem) at Pusser’s Caribbean Grill though that’s not their claim to fame. You can’t beat their Painkillers....I could go for a Level 3 right now!
Definitely going to have to try this recipe because I've only made the standard version. Gimme that heat!
Looks like you are loving life atm, keep up the good work!
Wow. Less than 100 views? You deserve more recognition with this level of quality. (Seriously though I just got here ''twas a joke haha love you Greg).
Cool video and great setting! Well done! Greetings from Spain
Cool take on this dirnk man, defiantly gonna have to try one of these Bleak and Inclement-Weathers
I like the overproof here. Goslings makes an overproof as well that when I'm feeling copyright friendly I prefer to use.
Keep the videos going. Your channel will grow to be something big
It's inclement, not inclimate.
Great drink. Good for international speak like a pirate day - September 18th.
I like to use Stone's Green Ginger Wine as the sweetness/ginger factor although I will try the ginger syrup.
The addition of a dark rum along with the over-proof rum adds a nice layer of complexity to the drink.
Awesome channel. I recommend this channel to all my friends and none have been disappointed. Keep it up.
You need more subscribers. Your channel is the best cocktail channel
Thank you for saying so!
Love this drink! Had no idea it had a patent on it. The more you know. Cheers!
lol you're the best man. thanks for all you do!
I make mine with Angostura 7 yr rum and Fentimans ginger beer. It's one of the spicier ginger beers I've found and it has a really good flavor. Once I get around to making some ginger syrup I'll have to give this a try though!
How do you feel about a dash or two of Angostura bitters in your Black & Inclimate weather? I've tried it and found it adds a nice layer of complexity
We do that in my bar, muddled lime wedges, Ice, rum, gingerbeer, then topped with the angostura, and a short stir, all in that order. Perfect like that
you solved my problems with not having the option to buy ginger beer in Brazil. Thanks!
Great way to make it
Darn and stormy my fav.
I much prefer the layered versions because it has a nice "storm cloud" visual presentation and gives you drinking options. You can mix it up with the straw and drink it as presented here, or you can let the drink's flavor evolve as you drink it. So you can sip it from the top and enjoy the intense rum experience that gradually gives way to the ginger heat. Or you can reverse the order by drinking through a straw. If you don't make your own potent ginger beer, I think the best commercial ginger beer for this is the cheap and available Goya brand. It gives the best heat, but I understand it contains other ingredients in addition to ginger.
The Dark&Stormy recipe I know calls for spiced rum (I like Kraken) a dash of hot sauce, juice of 1/4 lime and specifically for Jamaican ginger beer.
They are great with a tiny bit of Luxardo liquor. This is one of my favorite drinks
Easily one of my top five all-time favorite drinks. Wonderful! I completely agree that the layering is not actually necessary, I prefer everything incorporated myself. As a side note, I adore the rename. "Bleak and Inclimate Weather" although not as easy to say is much more fun to say, AND is something I feel Jack Sparrow would mutter on his ship while mixing a rum drink.
Yeah a new episode :D Greetings from Germany :)
Ja man
One of the things we Germans appreciate is alcohol and Greg sure does know how to handle his alcohol
I’m from Monmouth County. Big fan here!!!!!
That thunder scared the sh!t out of me. lmao
My dad always gets so disappointed when a bartender doesn't float the rum! Complains it's not *really* a Dark and Stormy without the raincloud lol, he's not a big drinker so the presentation is a big part of the fun for him
Does the earth reverse it’s rotation if you use Pusser’s in a Dark ‘n’ Stormy and Gosling’s in a Painkiller?
Love OFTD. So versatile.
Kristopher Bailey How did you not have a like yet?
The Dark and Stormy is the quintessential rum drink. 3 ingredients in perfect harmony.
Okay, here's applause....
👏👏
I drink a bottle of rum and dip peeled ginger root in lemon/lime mix.
I use a local (or my own) alcoholic ginger beer. Squeeze of lime in the glass first, fill with GB and float a couple of ounces of spiced rum on top. Call it a pirate or turbo Jerry's (whatever your heart desires). Mint and GB is spot on so go ahead and leave that mint sprig in the glass.
even go 1oz spiced and 1oz dark for that "Spoopy" effect. I agree that shaking is better but it does look good if you layer it correctly.
Ah my first drink on my 21st... still my favorite
Goslings dark and stormy is the best!
Just in case this hasn't come up already, wikipedia says: "Gosling Brothers has registered a version of the name that uses one apostrophe ('N), while the International Bartenders Association uses two apostrophes ('N'). In the United States, "Dark 'n Stormy" has been a registered trademark of Gosling Brothers Ltd of Bermuda since 1991."
Made this for my bar today, but with Havana Club 7 instead, and have never gotten so many compliments on a cocktail! (Made a little extra syrup to take home too ;) )
2:49 was weird
Came down to see if anyone else noticed that. Glad someone else did and I'm not just seeing things/having a screen malfunction
Great video Greg love the magnum shirt
Btw Try a drink called the "Black Rat" Dark and/or Spiced Rum (not Morgan's ew) mix with sarsaparilla and Lime shake with cracked ice, serve in a tall glass rimmed with light brown sugar over the shaker Ice enjoy
Your pritty drink buddy. Maybe time to head home soon?
Not to oversimplify but... it’s a rum mule... and damn I love mules...
Pretty much. I suppose that's an argument in favor of it being a layered drink, so as to put it into it's own class.
"Gosling's has a copyright on the Darn n Stormy"
Bundaberg Rum: U wot M8
You should do a series on how to make cocktail shot!
Watched most your videos love the channel, although I've come to learn my coke cola and whiskeys are not really a cocktail lol I will work on that thanks.
'presentation purposes' proceeds to stick a whole bush of mint
I believe that technically the trademark is on "Dark 'N Stormy" specifically so as long as you don't call it that you should be sailing under clear skies. Though like the other guy said, making it with goslings rum and ginger beer does make for a tasty drink.
I would LOVE to see your take on a Death in the Afternoon...
The DaS is one of the very best drinks out there, if you ask me. I myself prefer to subsitute the overproof rum for Bacardi Black Spiced Rum, which makes it even more delicious and changes the name to "Black Storm". If you like this drink here, try out a Black Storm :)
Use a nice ginger beer and a dark rum ,darker the better and the mint sprig is perfect. And a squirt of lime.
Gosling's Black Seal is tasty rum, but if you can find it, and I doubt many of you can, Young's Old Sam Rum is the absolute BEST demerera rum out there! Makes excellent D&S'
I've had house ginger syrup before, I'll probably end up trying yours, but at this stage I prefer a nice dry spicy ginger beer like Fever Tree or Capi
i disapprove of the spillage with this dark and stormy :D also try making a daiquiri with 50/50 ginger syrup, muscovado sugar for the sweeter side and the usual lime and rum. And to that eat some slighty pan roasted peanuts, after u take a sip of the drink you kinda get a fortified taste of the roasted peanuts
Big drinker of these. Try kraken with gosling ginger beer and lime.
Do you need to use dark rum, or does a light rum work just fine? I'm just getting a home bar started, and the only bottle of rum I have is an aged light rum (although, aged only one year. It's a bottle of Cruzan.)
okay then. you build in the glass, and you 'float' two ounces of Gosslings and it looks LIKE A STORM. you broke my heart, Fredo! you broke my heart!
Had a date mid September and he offered to mix me a dark & stormy ... never heard of it before, quite liked the drink and the guy :D Now I found Your episode. The only thing that bugs me is the trademark though.
love me a bleak n inclement weather. Always use kracken!
I like it but i still think ill be making it with some ice gingerbeer layer on some dark rum but i may swap the dark rum out with a nice over proof
I call it a "Dim & Inclement" when it's not built with Gosling's. Great beverage, can't go wrong with good, strong ginger beer, but I'll have to try some of that ginger syrup.
