For the first time this year, I made some Dark and Stormies for me, my wife, and a friend and I used half OFTD and half Smith And Cross. Big success!
My first dark and stormy was actually with goslings rum. But to be fair, it was a premixed dark and stormy in a can from the local liquor store
At home, I use Kraken and Reed’s Extra Ginger Beer and pour in the rum last for the cool dark layering on the top. Of course, I then stir with my straw before drinking it. 😊
I just had my first dark & stormy last night. Someone had given my wife some ginger beer (a local brand called Dickies, it is low in carbonation and sugar, and not extremely spicy) and I suggested cocktails. I had a bottle of Hamilton 151 that I brought back from the US (we live in British Columbia Canada) and she didn't realise what 151 or overproof was, she made us double bubbles withhalf a can of ginger beer each. I couldn't believe how smooth it was, I could barely taste the alcohol, it was delicious!
That was also my first time tasting the Hamilton, or any overproof for that matter.
Haha. How was the head the next day. Obvs we don’t get Hamilton here so can’t comment on what I think of it. But it seems to get decent press.
@@StevetheBarmanUKsurprisingly, the heads were fine. We just finished the bottle making Guyanese Black Cake and mixing it into our eggnog 🥚
Merry Christmas 🎄
STEVE!!! Great video!! Before I knew what I was doing, not that I know what I'm doing now, I used Bacardi Dark and Ginger ale. I haven't had one of these gems in a while, so I'm going back in!!! CHEERS!!!!
Gosling Old Rum was my first Dark and Stormy.
Love any cocktail built in the glass. When I make them a Dark n Stormy for my friends I always do the classic float over the ginger beer. I always use Fever Tree cuz I like that bite. It's not for everyone but I love it. Fun comparisons today!
I reckon we've got about 100+ Ginger Beers in the UK. it's mine field. But as much as i love FT Ginger Ale... i really don't rate their Ginger Beer. it's weird.... i know a lot do (and also a lot don't) but we do have some amazing stuff here!
@@StevetheBarmanUK all the mixers here (at least where I am) are pretty weak. We only just got fevertree meditaran a couple of years ago! 🤷♀️
Sometimes i like to use or add a bit of Jamaican ginger beer when i feel like some added spice - Love a dark and stormy
Actually I had my first Dark and Stormy in Las Vegas just this past week. The Bartender said the same thing. They did not have Goslings and he used Myers Dark Rum. I loved it. He did throw a mint leaf on there and a lime garnish. well I just got back home and went to my local liquor store and bought a Bottle of Goslings Black Seal and Goslings Ginger Beer. Wanted to get the true experience. I am doing a video. I hope you check it out. Cheers.
Steve my Dad's favourite long drink and the recipie has never changed. PGS or PGS Spiced. Home made ginger beer, basically soda water fresh ginger, fresh mint, and back brown suger (very in your face.
Also works very well with St Aubin black rum although Dad would never use anything except PGS
By PGS I assume you mean Pussers Gunpowder Proof? But what’s the S for?? 🤷♂️
My first Dark & Stormy was in Bermuda so you know it was made with Goslings. I brought some of that rum home with me to NY. My go to is still Goslings and my favorite ginger beer is Fever Tree. I use the light version that is sweetened with agave which keeps the carbs low but the flavor is great. I love a good mule and enjoy them made with gin, too.
Sounds great Marianna. Fever Tree Ginger Beer is deffo not for me, but I know a lot of people love it. Its a shame, cos their Spiced Orange Ginger Ale is AMAZING.
@@StevetheBarmanUK haven't come across the Spiced orange ginger ale yet. I am going to have to hunt it down! 😊
I looked into the whole legality issue when I did my Dark n Stormy video.. basically you CANNOT copyright a recipe, only a name! ...so they have copyrighted the name Dark n Stormy... so legally, any bar or restaurant can make the drink with any rum they want... BUT! If they're going to PRINT Dark n' Stormy in their cocktail menu, they HAVE to use Gosling's... and the distillery has been known to pursue legal action against bars using other rums. Cheers Steve! It's a great drink... honestly... I usually use Havana Club 7 and lately, I looooove the new Canada Dry Premium Ginger Beer!
See this is where we get all confused. Cos In the UK (and I think Europe) Canada Dry is Schweppes. There is no separate company like US/Canada. So Schweppes Ginger Ale…is/was Canada Dry (they’ve dropped the Canada Dry now). So I would assume… probably wrongly…that Canada Dry Ginger Beer to you, is just in fact our Schweppes Ginger Beer!
However to dive even deeper… in the UK it’s actually probably Merchant Heart (another Brand). Which stupidly is owned by Suntory. Suntory own the Schweppes Brand. HOWEVER…in the UK, Schweppes Historically is licensed to Coca Cola. It’s a flamin brand Merry go round that makes Bacardi vs Havana look a walk in the park. But… I wouldn’t mind betting you, it’s the same Ginger Beer as we get here…just a different flippin name! 🙄🤦♂️😂
@@StevetheBarmanUK LOL.. I wouldnt be surprised... although here they labelled it "premium" so they can charge more... but they also have a premium ginger ale in the lineup that I havent tried... I would be curious to dry the standard Canada Dry ginger ale vs their new premium brand
@@RobsHomeBar Your next video! 😉
You speak the truth young man :)
Brilliant video just wondered how you make your ice cubes like that
Just 3cm ice Cube Moulds! I buy in a lot, but the Square Cubes are home made.
Worked well with a Woods Navy rum and Fever Tree
I LOVE the "Dark and Stormy", but I simply REFUSE to use Goslings BECAUSE they are so litigious, and actually HAVE gone after bars for using other rums in this drink.
I use Kraken and Fevertree "Distiller's Cola" (which is apparently different from the "DC" they sell in the UK--it's delicious and rich, unlike the weird, thinned-down stuff they sell in the UK...) and Bundeberg Ginger Beer (the N/A soda pop) if I want it sweet or Royal Jamaican (the alcoholic kind) if I want it spicy and extra-strong and it makes an amazing Dark and Stormy, Gosling's be damned...
My first dark n stormy was made using old Jamaica and kraken. Now I like to use dalstons for the ginger beer and either kraken, goslings or holy island rum
Not had the Dalstons. Need t try that, cos I love thier Rhubarb & Cherry!
@@StevetheBarmanUK definitely one on the fiery side. I would definitely recommend Dalston ginger beer with lime if you like the intensity of a good ginger beer.
I've never had one but I will be trying one now lol
my fave rum cocktail....and i made one yesterday with Sea dog xD i need to get goslings now
Still like Sea Dog!! Decent Spiced Rum.
Soo good¡
Fever tree ginger beer, 30ml Wray and Nephew and 30ml goslings
Wow, Jon, you don't mess about!!! hahaha. Nice!
i think my first ''Dark N Stormy'' was with Havana Club 7 year and Fever Tree Ginger Beer, I don't think I loved it but I'm sure I would now. I LOVE Fever Tree ginger beer (and pretty much all their products I've had) and I haven't had Havana 7 in a long time but I'd really like to go back to it. I think Appleton Signature (or 8 year) works perfectly with ginger beer and another favorite of mine is a local spiced rum called Chic Choc (actually it is aged rum from Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad then infused with 7 local spices) which I find works really well with a good spicy ginger beer.
Ha, Chic Choc you say! Sounds interesting!
@@StevetheBarmanUK Haha yeah, it is! Chic Choc is actually the name of a Mountain range here in Québec (Canada)
My first Dark and Stormy was in fact dark Bacardi with FT Ginger Beer (somehow it was more accessible where I live than the good ol' Captain). It was dark and stormy for sure :) I like Fever Tree Ginger Beer because for me it is a smashy, gingery stuff.
See its funny. Even in these comments, FT gets Love...AND Hate!! I'm not a FT GB fan... but I love their Ginger Ale!!
@@StevetheBarmanUK May I ask why you prefer FT Ginger Ale over Ginger Beer? I remember tasting them back to back couple of years ago, and I found that Ginger Ale was more tender, not that gingery. But this is coming from someone who drinks pressed ginger shots now and then.
So... hang on, you need to understand something Ginger Ale is NOT Ginger Beer. In fact it very rarely has ginger root in it. You can't compare them side by side. So while I love their Ginger Ale cos it is really good, I hate their Ginger beer, cos quite frankly its terrible. So thats not me saying I'd use Ginger Ale in a Drink that needs Ginger Beer.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO. If its a Ginger Beer Drink, its a Ginger Beer drink!! I'm just saying I wouldn't really use FT Ginger Beer. I'd use 50 other brands ahead of it! 😂
My 1st Dark and Stormy was Havana 7 with Fever Tree Ginger Beer. For me though, the FT was too stormy so swapped it out for the FT Ginger Ale
have you tried the FT Spiced Orange Ginger Ale???? GAME CHANGER!!!!
@@StevetheBarmanUK I sure have, im a fan! I love the spiced orange with chairman’s reserve spiced. It’s like drinking Christmas 😂
Good old Goslings. Everyone ignores them.
Who....?!
My first was kraken it was really good
Ha, yeah, Kraken is a standard! Most bars an supermarkets have it
Malibu Black, Fever Tree Ginger, and lime juice no bitters for me. I wanna try it with Bitters and eventually with Goslings or Baradici Black
Wait. What?!! What is Malibu black?!!!
Would Pusser's Gunpowder Proof make a good Dark & Stormy? I can't judge because I hate ginger beer so this would be for a guest.
Yeah…just remember it’s Stronger ABV. So a Double/2oz measure is like a Triple/3oz in relative terms. Most people miss that.
@@StevetheBarmanUK : Great. Thank you Steve.
Sorry not Captain in Canada we have Screech Newfoundland Rum in the dark and stormy, rrr the Safe Harbour. Though funny it was with Ginger Ale not beer until the last decade or so was ginger beer available (unless a really alcoholic fermented ginger beer). ;)
Screech!!!! I have some. Trevor V sent me some over to try!!!!
@@StevetheBarmanUK it’s a rite of passage in Canada closer to the maritimes more it is.
Sailor Jerry’s and diet goslings was my first
I haven’t had one in a long time
You have turned me on to too many other things
Hahaha....now WHICH version of SJ did you have???
@@StevetheBarmanUK the original 92 proof nothing fancy like my Richland Rum!! You gotta get some
My first Dark n Storm was this year! Don Papa rum and old Jamaica Ginger ale. Reason for the delay is I don't like ginger ale. I didnt particularly like the Dark n stormy. Much to the dismay of my buddy he was gutted for wasting his Don Papa on me 🤣🤣
Ha, the Dark and Stormy does need to be Ginger Beer. You don’t get much of a storm from Ginger Ale. More like a feeble breeeze! 😂
@@StevetheBarmanUK 😂😂 I like that! Jamaican one it is ginger beer. My PP knowledge of ginger club.
100% my first dark n stormy was with Goslings. The bar was out of Capitan Morgan
That was a good thing, right?!
@@StevetheBarmanUK yes it was!!! Probably because of that I really enjoy Dark n Stormy's
im embarresd to say that my first dark and stormy was with stroh rum, i know wrong on so many levels, i was 18 ok we all do stupid things :)
i really wanted to try Stroh.... then i had multiple people say Noooooooooooooo. so i never did!
Sorry but, that is not a Dark and Stormy... I grew up in Bermuda on the Dark and Stormy.. I started drinking Dark and Stormy when I was 15. The rum was Gosling's Black Seal Rum. You way over did it with the lime. The lime (one slice is a garnish). We NEVER used lime at all and we NEVER put bitters in a Dark and Stormy. We ALWAYS used Barrett's Ginger Beer... Never any other Ginger Beer... Gosling now has a Ginger Beer that they make... but, it no way compares to Barrett's Ginger Beer... So, use Gosling's Black Seal Rum, cut the lime, cut the bitters and try it with Barrett's Ginger Beer and you will have a REAL Dark and Stormy...
Well that’s me told! 😂😂😂
Sadly, I do not like ginger beer.
How about Ginger Ale??
@@StevetheBarmanUK I do like them, but never tried them in any cocktail
