Highball Glass

Glass Guide- Highball Glass

The Dark & Stormy embodies two great tastes of the tropics that and is darker than most tropical drinks, but is just as refreshing. This classic highball is a brand-specific mixed drink that is a completely, some would say wrong, taste if anything other than Gosling's Black Seal rum and Barritt's ginger beer. Some bartenders will add lime juice to the drink, but the addition of citrus is unnecessary and can be overbearing.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Gosling's Black Seal rum
  • 3 oz Barrit's ginger beer
  • lime wedge for garnish if desired

Preparation:

  1. Build the ingredients in a highball glass filled with ice cubes.
  2. Garnish with the lime wedge.

not light and breezy!, Member godderz

Had this down in Bermuda, it's brilliant when it's hot. Spicy & sweet gingerbeer which compliments the same in the rum!! A slice of lime is important to take off the sweetness as is loads of ice (of course) otherwise it can be quite syrupy. You really don't notice this one creeping up on you! Gives you that ""Tropical high"" lots of energy!
