Anyone ever had a Dark and Stormy?

Just made some for the first time last weekend. Just pour some dark rum over ice cubes(I used Myers Rum), and mix with ginger beer(can substitute ginger ale too apparently). Came out pretty tasty

Well it's not actually beer (in the same way root beer isn't beer), and it's flavored with ginger among other things

It's huge in the Caribbean. It's good I assure you. Make sure it's dark rum.

Go for it man

I usually mix my drinks strong, like half dark rum, and half ginger beer, and since I started drinking these I have learned a lime wedge tastes quite good with it.

These are pretty tastey. Def. have to have the lime wedge
