6ouncesginger beerfrom 4 to 6 ounces depending on your tastes
0.5ouncelime juiceoptional
2ouncesGoslings Black Seal Dark Rum
garnish with lime wedge or wheel
Instructions
Add the ginger beer and lime juice to an ice filled highball glass and float the rum on top.
Stir (until it looks like a storm cloud)
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge and serve.
Notes
Make sure to use a dark rum preferably from the Caribbean. White or gold rum does not have enough flavor to compete with the spiciness of the ginger beer.
It is advisable not to use spiced rum in this drink, the ginger beer has its own punch of spice! If you must, cut the amount in half and add more to your liking.
Ginger ale is not a suitable substitute, its flavor is too weak.
For a darker, stormier cocktail, float the rum on top of the ginger beer without stirring.
