8 Good tips for a perfect Dark and stormy

Choose a good dark rum: Use a good dark rum with a rich flavor. This will add depth and character to your cocktail.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice: Always use freshly squeezed lime juice instead of ready-made juice. It gives a fresh and sour taste that balances the sweetness from the rum and the spices in the ginger beer.
Choose a quality Ginger beer: Choose a quality Ginger beer with a good balance between sweetness and sharpness. Avoid too sweet or too spicy flavors, as they can dominate the taste of the cocktail.
Adjust the mixing ratio: Try adjusting the amount of rum, lime juice and ginger beer to your own taste. Some prefer a stronger rum flavor, while others prefer more acidity or spice. Experiment and find the balance that suits you best.
Add plenty of ice: Dark and Stormy is best served ice cold. Be sure to add plenty of ice to the glass, both to chill the cocktail and preserve its refreshing character.
Stir gently: Once the ingredients are added to the glass, stir gently with a whisk to mix them together. Avoid shaking the glass as this can release too much carbonation from the Ginger beer.
Decorate as desired: Add a slice of lime, mint or a slice of fresh ginger as a garnish if desired. It can give your cocktail an extra visual appeal.
Serve immediately: Dark and Stormy is best served fresh. Make sure to serve it immediately after it is mixed together, so that the ginger beer flavor and carbonation are preserved.

It's important to remember that these tips are only guidelines, and it can be fun to experiment and adapt the recipe to your personal preference. So enjoy your Dark and Stormy cocktail and let its intense and refreshing taste inspire you!
