- čas přidán 6. 09. 2020
- A deliciously rich and spicy blend of ginger, rum & lime. There are many variations on this simple combination, but this is the way I like to make it and it's one of our biggest sellers on the Bomba Rooftop.
SPECS:
60ml (2oz) dark rum
30ml (1oz) fresh lime juice
About 120ml (4oz) ginger beer
3 dashes Angostura bitters
Lime wheels to garnish
EQUIPMENT:
A jigger
A barspoon
A highball glass
METHOD:
Add your rum and lime juice, and ginger beer to the glass (should be just under halfway) Add as much ice as you can fit, stir, add more ice and top with more ginger beer if necessary. Float 3 dashes of bitters on top, garnish with lime wheels and enjoy!

#rumcocktails #dark&stormy #rum #withcaradevine #booze #bar #bartending #behindthebar - Jak na to + styl
I've started making sure I have my garnish done first because of this channel.
I really appreciate that Cara focuses on the actual hospitality aspect of bartending.
I also like how, even though she talks about the history, she focuses on the drink making. Instead of rambling or lecturing like some other cocktail channels.
This is my favorite cocktail channel at this point.
Haha no 1 rule, always prep your garnish! So glad you’re enjoying pal, I obviously try to hit that balance so that’s great feedback!
Yes to all of the above!
It looks fantastic and the taste is out of this world, I’m sure ;)!!!
Hi from Bermuda and thanks for making one of our national drinks! Our by-the-book local tradition calls Barritt's Ginger Beer, though its not widely available internationally the way Gosling's (or another brand) ginger beer is. I love the angostura floater on top. It does look nice and if you use a rum floater on top, like bars do here, it looks like an Atlantic storm raining down on the ocean. Thank you for featuring the Dark n Stormy and I'd love to see you guys try our other national drink, The Rum Swizzle.
Thank you for the kind words and insight Arya! I’ll definitely put the Rum Swizzle on the list 😊
Arya, I agree with you on the Barritt's Ginger Beer and it's not that hard to find in the U.S. where I am.
I used to visit Bermuda for work a lot. For three years I went there every other month for one week. Truly a beautiful place with great people...and two great drinks. This and the Swizzle. I prefer this one. I had many a happy hour at The Hog Penny restaurant and pub in Hamilton as I walked to my hotel from work. I live overseas now and have to make my own ginger beer and can't get Goslings so...I use Jameson and call it an Irish Storm. Ginger Beer and about anything is great.
One trip to Hamilton sticks out regarding this drink. Well, two trips stick out but I will only tell about one (I don't remember much from that St Patricks Day). A bartender at the Hog Penny had me try it with lemon instead. He felt that it was better that way. It is worth a try. I prefer limes (and they are much easier to get where I have lived since then...limes are EVERYWHERE it seems- lemons...not as much) but the lemon is a nice change.
Incredible memories, I’d love to visit some day. Thank you for sharing!
Full disclosure: I love the dark& stormy. I was watching Anders’ saw yours, switched!;)
nice drink... and you used the right rum! Don't wanna get sued! haha ... I like the addition of the bitters! I love bitters! Cheers!
‘Needs more bitters’ says every bartender ever haha
They'll still come after you if you don't use their ginger beer too (I heard)
@@floorpi314159 then we'll just call it a "Somber and turbulent climate"
Wonderful cocktail. Built in glass for a tasty quick backyard cocktail. Like the idea of adding a layer of dark bitters !
Looks amazing, now I want one
That is a drink I would like! Have a great week!
Sounds refreshing!
One of my favorite rum cocktails! Cheers Cara
Definitely my favorite rum drink.
Love these videos, so informative and you have the most wonderful personality! Thank for sharing some awesome tips and tricks! 🤓🤓🤓
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I love your voice, thumbs up 👍🏽
After many versions I tried I found that your version is absolutely the best one for me. Thanks! 😊
Mmmmm a glass of treakley goodness....
My dad served one to me recently using Cruzan Blackstrap Rum. Enjoyed it enough to go out and pick some up just so I could make it at home. I will need to look for the Gosling now.
Blackstrap is definitely a worthy substitute!
Goslings makes their own Ginger beer as well. It’s pretty hot on the ginger spice level.
Traditionally, the rum should be floated. I prefer that presentation, but I mix it when I drink it. Kraken Black Rum makes a very dramatic looking cocktail. I prefer Myers dark rum though, it’s more funky and less spiced.
If you add pineapple juice, you have a Bermuda Triangle... drink a couple of those and you won’t know where you are. 😉
...we used to pour a little rum down the straw ... Bach when you still had straws ... lol ...
One of my fav summer, around a fire drinks
Отличное видео и вкусный коктейль
Another great episode from behind the bar! keep em coming!!!!
We hope to, if lockdown doesn’t get in the way... 🤞
I rarely hit the subscribe-button this fast - really interesting topics.
What I'd like to see is a short video on storing bottles at home since you won't run through them that fast compared to a bar or pub!
Good suggestion!
I've never been this early before! Can't wait to try this out!
🎉
Salud🍻from mexico
I like to use Bruce Cost unfiltered ginger beer in mine. Like the Gosling’s, it’s also ‘chewy.’
Fellow Melburnian cocktail slingers at the Everleigh also make a Dark and Hoppy which I really like. They trade the ginger beer for ginger syrup and top it up with IPA. A really nice beer cocktail 🍹
The bartenders there are geniuses!
@@BehindtheBar I'm yet to try it made by them...once this lockdown finally ends, but I'm very happy with the one I made based on their recipe in 'A spot at the bar'
thanks... first time i heard of this drink..was told it was made with beer... like an IPA... this clears it up...
I’m not sure I’d love that!
Got into these a few years ago on a boys weekend. A mate who does some work in Bermuda introduced the crew to The Kraken and Bundeburg ginger beer and I’ve never looked back. Yes a bit on the sweet side but a nice change up from a day on the ales. I did get into the Bundeburg Christmas edition ginger beer for a mouth full of fruitcake flavour. Now making my own ginger beer in iso.
Good job on the ginger beer, I keep considering it but not taking the plunge haha
One of my favorites! Right now I really like the Bourbon version, the Kentucky Mule ;P
... another great ginger beer drink ... since you opened a can ...
This is FANTASTIC! And I love the glass and the color play between the lime wheels and the drink. I am not a big fan of Ginger, but in this drink it is so beautiful. Cheers girl!
... the garnish looks great true ... but the drink needs fresh lime juice ... not just bitters ...
Nice
Pretty! A slightly elevated version of the classic highball.
It definitely falls in that category. I'd say its one of the more "fun" highballs
Another great video. I tend to "eyeball" a lot - sometimes you miss, but mostly you hit - especially if, as you said, you know your glassware. Cheers!
It definitely trips me up filming sometimes because we try and use a variety of glassware to keep it visually interesting- in the bar I know them all like the back of my hand haha.
Yep! Only with Goslings! They have their own brand of Ginger Beer to use. The combination is kind of irreplaceable. Thanks for the great video! Fair winds!
A suitably nautical greeting haha
I've used the gosling ginger beer but never the rum, I'll give it a try if I can find it!
... it will make a true D&S ... remember lime juice as well garnish ... it makes the “Swirl’s” in the storm ... plan on 2 drinks per can ...
Agreed that Fever Tree is the best. Between that and using Kraken 94 proof for the rum, I love the spicy burning sensation my lips get. Never tried the angostura though, thanks for the suggestion!
I've done many a DnS with Kraken and it kills every time! Always recommend it to people
I LOVE a Dark and Stormy!
A local bittery makes a grapefruit, rosemary, and peppercorn bitter... which goes beautifully in it!
😋
Very good idea to put the ingredients at the end 👍 Now I can directly use the end screen as I rush off to mix it 😉 Not right now, though, it's 8 am and I just had one of these last night 😊
I’m building up a collection of screen shots of the ingredients for quick reference. 👍🏻
I have never heard a spirit being described as "chewy"
I think the same way a lot of people think in colours, I think in textures- chewy, fluffy, spiky etc haha. I mean this is actually quite thick in body, but also has that toffee/molasses note that makes your feel like you should chew it!
It's nearly a perfect analogy for black rum.
I would invite you one cara i love your channel keep it up!!
sounds a wee bit on the soor side for me, but I guess I'll have to try it to know! ;-) thank you for all your awesome vids!
You can definitely knock back the lime juice and/or use a sweeter ginger beer. Even add a little agave syrup or something like that!
@@BehindtheBar cool, thanks for the suggestions!!!
I’ve recently been using a budget run called Whalers that’s a pretty close substitute. 😃
That's crazy. Last night I bought some angostura bitters, and made some of these 😌 I like mine a little spicier so I use spices rum. Sailor Jerry really gives it a great flavor 👌🏼
I used Plantation OFTD, which turned out great! Refreshing drink, similar taste to a mule IMO
We house pour Plantation Original 😋
It's totally a mule! Technically a "Safe Harbor" if you make it with a rum that NOT Gossling's
...Love what you're doing!
Your using a conical Pilsner glass here, has upped my game.
I've tried a number of ginger beers/syrups; Fever Tree for the win for a while: 1.5z Gosling's, 0.5z Smith and Cross, more stormy. Iirc, there's no lime in a "real" Dark and Stormy, I've been compromising with Fee Bros. lime bitters.
... noted ... will gather more info ... but citrus was big with the sailors tho ...
I want your glassware! So nice. I am NOT a fan of Goslings rum, but it does work really well and is the go-to in the Dark 'n' Stormy
. Other things, not so much. Do you have Bundaberg ginger beer where you are? Yum. Can't call it a Dark 'n' Stormy (tm) I guess without the Goslings GInger Beer. Ha.
Thanks pal, I love those glasses too! Vintage I’m afraid though. We do have Bundaberg, I’m in it’s home haha (well, Australia at least if not Queensland 😊)
An incredible, physics defying technique. If I dropped ice cubes into that glass from that height, it would splash and make a huge mess.
Haha but I can always edit it out 😉
Another great video! I'm curious if you've done a video on the different styles of glassware and their uses?
Not yet pal but we’ve had a few requests so it’s on the list! That said, I’m a firm believer in drinks tasting the best out of the glass you like drinking from. Martinis out of a coffee mug while camping are 😋
@@BehindtheBar Newcomer to the channel, seconding the request for some glassware episodes. My bestie got a rum tasting glass (Final Touch, I think?) recently and it's -incredible- how it totally transforms a rum, and I'm sure thousands of whisky drinkers have waxed poetic on the potence of a good glencairn.
... cold glass beer mug comes to mind ...
Cruzan Blackstrap Rum is excellent for Dark and Stormy as well
😋
I always treat the D&S as a Moscow Mule but with rum, any dark rum seems to work well and for making at home, when I'm really lazy, I'll just do a full 200 ml Fever Tree Ginger beer, the juice of half a lime (in my experience works out to about 15-20 ml), not as much ice as in a bar, because this imo doesn't need much dilution, then I proceed to eyeball the rum as a float - I've definitely made some mistakes like making one in a pint glass and putting in close to 100 ml rum but that's home bartending for you haha, live and learn. Another great video, cheers!
😂 have to love a house pour!
Actually the more ice = colder and less dilution ;-)
Dear Cara,
Thanks again for a video where you balance 'musts' and personal choice and tell your hows and whys. Appreciated. You hit the nail to be really informative and at the same time making the mixology accessible.
I have also a superbasic question, when you use ginger beer, is that with or without alcohol?
And I love background info, so more of that, please. 🙂
Thank you so much for the kind words Sven! I think bar tending is the same as everything else in life- it’s important to learn your basics, but rules are made to be broken and the original is not always the best!
Without alcohol for the ginger beer. I did have one guy ordering it with alcoholic ginger beer at the bar once and I cut him off after 2- that’s a one way ticket to vomit town in my opinion! And just doesn’t taste as nice because alcoholic ginger beers are usually quite sweet.
@@BehindtheBar Thanks. And oh, that was a relief to hear. Here I have all along felt and thought that non-alco ginger beer was the beginner/amateur version. This put a smile on my face. With this new-won confidence I will go and buy some.
And yes, God, how sweet they make some of the alcoholic ginger beers - teen stuff imo.
All the best
😋
Most cocktails with ginger beer just taste like ginger beer, this one has a bit more balance between the rum and ginger beer. Great summer drink, although I’m having one now in middle of winter.
I’ve only been making these for a few months and tried a few variations, some only garnished with lime. I don’t understand that, especially with the Navy connection...scurvy & all that! The lime juice makes it, I think. Angostura on top sounds good, must try that.
I guess my cocktail bartender brain says if you’re only going to garnish with lime then it’s just a highball haha. The bitters are definitely not traditional but they look pretty and add spice and length so why not!
This looks really good. The D&S I’ve tried before was too sweet and dull flavored. Looking forward to your version!
That has a lot to do with the ginger beer. Use either Fever Tree or Q. They're less sweet and spicier than the run-of-the-mill crap. The wrong rum won't help either. If Myers is all you have I suppose you can use it, but it always adds a sweet burnt-molasses note for me.
Yeah definitely all about a good ginger beer and healthy dose of rum. It’s also why I add the bitters which isn’t traditional- that extra spice, and really helps give it length imo. Hope you like this version!
One of my favorite drinks. I like the Fever Tree ginger beer, but even better is Bundeburg which is Aussi. Do you use that one?
You know, I’m actually not sure I’ve ever used it for a D&S but it is yum!
great drink, didn't know it was typically a double
It definitely doesn’t have to be, it’s one of those drinks that can easily be adjusted down. I just figure that when people order cocktails they expect them to be a double. If I was drinking at home I’d probably do 30 or 45ml in a smaller glass 😊
Noice! "It was a dark and stormy night .... " start of many a great adventures I'm sure! :-)
⛈
Amazing channel! It's very refreshing to see a woman running a cocktail channel, and in a very charming way too. I've been binging your videos for the most part of this evening and was left with one question in particular: your jigger. It has measurement markings on the inside (not just rings) which I've never seen before. Care to share the brand? Looking forward to your future videos - keep it up!
Thanks Alexander! It’s a ‘Japanese Style’ jigger from cocktail kingdom- they have all sorts of different finishes 😊
Hi Cara, just found your channel and find it highly enjoyable and informative. What are your thoughts on using an alcoholic ginger beer? I find there are some nice ones out there with varying spice (Matso's from Broome W.A. is my preference) that give the drink an additional kick whilst still staying very drinkable. Also is there any possibility of a video focusing on Australia's craft spirits variety?
I’m not honestly a massive fan of using alcoholic ginger beers in cocktails just because I don’t think the extra alcohol is necessary! But there are certainly some yummy ones now. I often use Australian craft spirits and would love to cover more- our ideal would be to get out and about and visit some distilleries!
😀👍
Great presentation as always. I’m curious about the ink on your right forearm. What is it?
Thanks William! It’s abstract, based on a piece of artwork I love but really just letting the tattoo artist do his thing! @uglyink on Instagram if you’re interested.
Behind the Bar so now I know🙂
I LOVE YOU❤❤
Hmmm. Never done it with bitters. I always put a dash of nutmeg on top. I'll try the bitters if you'll try the nutmeg.
Sounds like a deal to me!
Nice recipe! What another dark rum i can you for this cocktail?)
Honestly this is a pretty forgiving drink so you can get away with most rums but as a general rule the heavier the better- something like Myer’s, Appleton’s etc.
@@BehindtheBar thanks to you, love your videos!
Hi Anna Bell Peaks doppelganger,
I am johny 💕
thoughts on old jamaican ginger beer?
Spicy 🌶
May be a bit biased and not sure if you've tried it, but Jamaican ginger beer is awesome with this!
As a rum lover I make just 1:1 ratio, without lime and angostura :)
Fair enough!
My (former) brother-in-law's go-to. When he was behind the bar, he'd shake a couple drops of orange bitters onto the ice before adding the Gosling's or Fevertree. More than one way to "skin a cat."
Ooh that’s a good idea, that orange note would be lovely!
Now that you are living in OZ. How do you rate Bundy rum and the Ginger beer from QLD?
The ginger beer is great! I’m not a fan of the regular Bundy rum but their small batch and various special editions are generally very tasty!
Please release a book. Haha
One day!!
Hmmmm...limes and Fever Tree ginger beer, available at local stores. Check.
Goslings Black Seal. Also available, but not on hand. However, there's a bottle of Appleton lurking apologetically in my liquor cabinet. Check.
Angostura. Check.
Plans for the weekend...call some rain to Arizona by making a Dark & Stormy. Or two...or...
Hope you enjoyed!
I did, I did!
And now I know 🤔
So, when you say "Ginger Beer" is this the sort of Ginger Beer that we would drink on the islands (by which I mean for example Jamaica), or is "Ginger Beer" simply a generic British/Irish/UK term for what in America is often referred to as "Ginger Ale" (of which Seagram's or Canada Dry would be top examples)?
I mean actual ginger beer! In the UK and Australia most bars will have both ginger ale and ginger beer. This drink definitely needs the spice.
So now I know.
I've been messing with Domaine de Canton for stuff like this, since i don't always have GingerBeer lying around. (like the EL-DIABLO)
any clues for something to lengthen the drink? It's pretty boozy
Ooh yeah it would be...would you have access to soda water? Even just a splash of that, as I think having the carbonation really helps make the drink refreshing too.
If you add half a shot of cola at the end it falls through and looks like storm clouds :)
I use Pusser's Gunpowder or Smith & Cross
Both excellent choices!
You're really pretty
So now I know and I am making it tonight
Made it, loved it
OK, you've convinced me. I'm trying it this way for my online hangout with friends this evening.
Let me know how you go!
@@BehindtheBar Not quite what I expected -- far better. I think I'll make them like this now.
Zingy!
🌶
any dark rum is fine and probably even better... Patients last only 20 years...
Sure, it’s just nice to lean into the history sometimes! Patents can also be extended past the 20 years 😊
The saga of Cara's forgetting things for a shoot continues!
Haha it’s becoming a trademark- I deserve it!
@@BehindtheBar Own it, Cara, own it!
I miss out on drink like this because I just can't get into ginger beer
That’s a shame! There are lots of awesome soft drinks on the market now so maybe you could find something you do like which is also fairly dry and zingy/spicy? I’ve had some great grapefruit sodas recently (Strangelove has a salted grapefruit one which is delicious) and that could definitely work! You may want to use a less intense rum though.
Why does your left hand get tucked behind just before serving? Is that an etiquette?
Yes, I learned it working in a 5 star hotel and can’t shake it haha!
@@BehindtheBar Go one step further and curtsy like a Ballerina :)
Ok. I came thirsty and ready to learn
Just how we like you!
How do you patent a drink? Goslings can suck it
It’s a pretty interesting issue, Diffords has a good article on it if you’re interested:
www.diffordsguide.com/en-au/encyclopedia/1150/cocktails/trademarking-cocktails
Basically you can’t copyright a drink, just a name. So you can combine any rum and ginger beer you like but you can’t call it a Dark & Stormy. Although funnily enough TIL that actually they missed Australia, so here the ‘Dark N Stormy’ is owner by Bundaberg- hope they don’t come after us haha!
Traditional DarknStormy does not call for lime juice or bitters....ginger beer goes in first and float the Goslings on top. Line wedge optional.
That’s why it’s my way!
I'm sad that I'm several hours away from being able to try this!
I did see a meme that said ‘Forget about it being 5pm somewhere, it’s 2020 everywhere so drink whenever you like!’ Can’t help but agree haha
$20.00 for a Dark & Stormy? Holy crap! I could almost buy a bottle Plantation Dark or 3 Star for the cost of that one mixed drink. Or for the cost of two of those I could get a bottle of Plantation 5 Year. Australia needs to reevaluate it's liquor taxes.
Yup! The only thing I’d say is that on average wages are higher here, but cocktails are close to an hour’s work if you’re on minimum wage. Keeps them a treat I suppose! And of course it’s cheaper to buy a bottle yourself and just drink at home here too, but it’s not the same as having them made for you (lockdown has taught me that haha!).
@@BehindtheBar I hope you'll forgive me. I live in the United States where the liquor laws are much more relaxed. I definitely see what you mean though. The high price makes it feel like more of an event. I feel good about my home recipe though. It is essentially the exact same as the one you demonstrated, but I prefer Bundaberg ginger beer, and I don't add bitters (but I might start, it sounds tasty.)
Dillion Barton no forgiveness needed, always interesting to hear different perspectives!
Weird. I searched your channel for this cocktail earlier today. Those Google analytics are working.
We read your mind!
I wanted to ask a question, is there any CZcams policy that is against these kind of liquor promotions or alcohol discussions?
Nope, as long a you mark that the content is not for children.
I don't know if it's a bug but I just tried to hit the bell and youtube told me I can't turn on notifications on s channel set to "made for kids" I feel like under 13s probably aren't your target market but you do you😃
So weird! You’re the second person that’s happened to but we’re very definitely not for kids haha
Fever Tree oof. Way too spicy. Use Bundaburg or Goslings ginger beer
All about the spice 🌶 🌶
Uhhh... Did you just say $20 for a Dark and Stormy?? W.T.F. The place I used to tend bar at had a dark and stormy special for $6 on Thursdays. Normal price was $8. And yeah, that was a "proper" strength dark and stormy with Goslings and decent ginger beer. The better deal imo was a decent stirred Manhattan with Overholt Rye and Dolin vermouth for $6 on Fridays. Is this $20 Dark and Stormy price a crazy Australian thing? Is Goslings really hard to get and expensive there?
$20 for cocktails is very standard in Australia. The tax on alcohol is stupidly high and also due to all the alcohol licensing that bars have to pay.
As redude77 said! Obviously you have the exchange rate so our $20 is American $14 or so. Then it’s mostly about taxes. It’s also why we don’t have as many bottom shelf products - alcohol is taxed by abv, not by value, so why would you bother bringing in or producing really cheap booze and then paying a heap of tax on it. So my rail is Plantation Dark, Johnny Walker Black etc, and everything sits at $10 for a standard drink, so cocktails are generally at least double that if they contain a full two shots.
This costs $20??
Yup! Booze is expensive in Australia, but people generally earn more.
I am surprised that you include lime juice. Wouldn't that rather be a Rum buck? I mean, I personally find the Dark'n'Stormy classic recipe too sweet, so I welcome the lime, but as far as I know, only a lime wedge is part of the classic - as a garnish.
Haha we did deliberately call it ‘Dark & Stormy - My Way’ because we knew these sorts of questions would come up! You’re right, technically lime juice isn’t needed to make a D&S. It can just be a straight highball, but I find it a much more balanced and interesting drink with it. So I don’t really see the point in sending out a drink that’s not as good because someone asked for a D&S and not a Buck because the first is so much more well know, you know? I think as long as someone puts a delicious combination of rum, ginger beer and lime in front of them they’ll be happy, and that’s what we’re there for!
I love the dark and stormy but I watched the video only in case you said "sherry". So disappointed
😂 I’m sure it won’t be too long before i say it again!
Too much ice..
Some info on that here if you’re interested:
czcams.com/video/93nGSSl1G24/video.htmlsi=6bHT7Vn9X6apXPaz
Not sure what that is ----- but a Dark 'N Stormy it is not.
Hey Ben! Thanks for the input 😊. All we really know about the original D&S is that it was rum, lime and ginger beer- whether it was lime juice or not is debatable but since they were (apparently!) trying to stave off scurvy I’d imagine it was at least a few wedges of lime. As I say in the video, the bitters are my own addition as I feel it helps the spice and lengthens our the drink, as well as creating the signature layered look without having to keep the rum separate. Hope that clears up your confusion!
Read Gosling's recipe ----- then you'll know who is confused.
Ben M As I said, I’m well aware of the classic recipe. The video is called a Dark & Stormy - My Way. You’d never have the best cocktail of your life if every bartender did things the exact same way 😉. I’m not a fan of meddling for meddling’s sake, but in this drink I think it’s justified!
If you add red pigment to white paint is it still white paint? When you alter something it becomes something else. Is this so difficult to grasp?
Ben M hahaha you make it however you like! I’m pretty happy over here with my pink paint 😊
