Dark and Stormy Cocktail Recipe
The Dark and Stormy cocktail recipe is a Bermuda trademark that legally requires Gosling's Black Seal Rum. This craft build introduces a modest non-diluted Frutiva Lime Juice dose — a flavor-dense performance refinement that stabilizes acid, sharpens the ginger bite, and preserves the classic dark-rum-cloud visual across a busy service.
