This is a spiced rum take on the famous Dark and Stormy cocktail, made the Captain Morgan way!
Where was the Dark and Stormy born
Invented on the island of Bermuda in 1806 by a member of the Gosling family, as the story goes, the recipe for the Dark and Stormy cocktail was born.
A Mr. Gosling went sailing to Virginia from England, but ended up in Bermuda. He created Gosling’s Rum. Some Brits invented ginger beer and they put it together with the rum.
One of these sailer’s thought his glass looked like “the color of a cloud only a fool or a dead man would sail under.” Some one took that and called it the Dark ‘N Stormy.

Tips for Making the Best Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum Ginger Lime
Follow these tips for making the tastiest version of this cocktail:
- Use fresh limes and squeeze the juice right before mixing the drink. Bottled lime juice won’t have the same bright, vibrant flavor.
- Use a high-quality ginger beer like Fever Tree or Fentiman’s for the best flavor. Avoid flat, watery ginger ales if you can.
- Don’t over-squeeze the lime wedge when garnishing. Just a gentle press is needed to get it to stick to the glass rim.
- Add a splash of club soda at the end for some extra fizz and effervescence.
- Customize the cocktail with muddled cucumber or jalapeño slices if you want to add some extra flavors.
