Exploring the Dark and Stormy: A Classic Tale
Bermuda's Finest:
The Dark and Stormy originated in Bermuda and is known as the national drink. Traditionally made with Gosling's Black Seal Rum and ginger beer, it captures the essence of the island's maritime history.
The Perfect Pairing:
Dark and Stormy's simplicity lies in the perfect pairing of dark rum's richness with the spicy kick of ginger beer, creating a harmonious blend that stands the test of time.
The 'Dark' Mystery:
The cocktail gets its name from the stormy, cloud-like appearance created when the dark rum is poured over the ginger beer. It's a visual treat as much as a flavorful one.
Why Dark N’ Peary?
Pear Perfection:
The addition of fresh pear in the Dark N' Peary brings a natural sweetness and a hint of tartness, creating a multidimensional flavor profile that's both refreshing and invigorating.
Old Monk Elegance:
Old Monk, with its deep, rich notes, elevates the dark rum component, adding complexity and depth to the cocktail.
Fever-Tree Fizz:
The choice of Fever-Tree ginger beer introduces a zesty fizz, perfectly complementing the fruity and spicy notes in the Dark N’ Peary.
Don’t drink and drive. It’s not fun!
