Dark And Stormy Cocktail Kit

CAD $65.00

Our curated Dark and Stormy cocktail kit is a great option for those looking to expand their flavour horizons with three unique variations of this classic from the early 1900s!

Each rum is unique, however at the same time you can cluster them into groups with similar interests and characters called flavour camps. The four rum flavour camps are: Oaky & Rich, Crisp & Dry, Soft & Dry, And Light & Fresh. This Dark And Stormy kit has been organized with a curated selection of rums that occupy three different flavour camps, and these are used to create a classic and two contemporary variations. 

The highlights of our Dark and Stormy cocktail kit are:

  • Includes a curated selection of three premium rums that span three unique flavour camps.
  • Includes a classic Dark ‘N Stormy recipe, and two unique contemporary recipes.  
  • Available in three or six drink sizes. 
  • Includes fresh lime citrus. 
  • Optional curated set of best practice cocktail bartender tools and glassware.

Dark ‘N Stormy

Description

A Dark and Stormy (dubbed Dark ‘N Stormy by Goslings) can legally only be made with Gosling’s Black Seal rum. 

This drink offers a rich addition of flavours through the use of premium Fever-Tree ginger beer which is made from a blend of three gingers from Nigeria, Cochin and the Ivory Coast. From Cochin in India, the ginger lends a warm and spicy flavour. From the Ivory Coast, you get a fresh green ginger that has an incredible lemongrass freshness. Finally, the Nigerian ginger brings a deep, intense flavour to the drink. 

Ingredients

Goslings Bermuda Black Seal Rum, Fever-Tree Ginger Beer, Lime Wheel Slice.

Goslings Bermuda Black Seal Rum

This rum is made from a 150-year-old Gosling family recipe which is aged in charred American oak casks. During World War 2, bottles were in short supply, so Goslings bottled their rum in discarded champagne bottles. The bottles were resealed with black wax and the locals began asking the Goslings for the “black seal rum”, and the brand was born. The logo of a barrel-juggling black seal was added to the label many years later.
