They are a mighty fine drink. I make mine with Barret's Ginger Beer, Gosling's Rum and a lime-ginger simple syrup.

Had several last week. Though I used a dark rum and not Gosling's Black.

Yes I was on a sailboat.

I love Dark and Stormys. I used to sail quite a bit and they were definitely the popular drink at after race parties etc.

I don't tend to make Dark and Stormys at home, but its become a traditional drink when I hit Colorado. Mmmmmmm

Maybe I should try one out

Yes you should!

^^^ If I'd only known. I'd have whipped up my syrup and brought it around.

Had a D&S last night at dinner after a boating excursion to dinner.

Very refreshing on a hot and humid day.

Yummy

Goslings is a big sponsor at regattas (though nowhere near as big as Mount Gay) They always pour Dark & Stormys for attitude adjustment after racing, . Yumm. Nothing like rehydrating with alcohol after a long day in the hot sun!!

The best ginger beer i have found is Elephant , from SriLanka, nice and spicy
