The Dark and Stormy cocktail is a classic drink that has garnered a loyal following since its inception. Its origins go back to the early 20th century in Bermuda. It is thought to have been created by sailors and locals. 

The story of the Dark and Stormy begins with the introduction of ginger beer to the Caribbean. In the late 1800s, sailors loved ginger beer. It was popular for its refreshing taste and its ability to help with seasickness. Dark rum was common in the region, so the mix of these two ingredients made sense.

Legend says that the drink was first made with Gosling’s Black Seal Rum and local ginger beer. It quickly became a local favorite. The name “Dark and Stormy” comes from the drink’s look. It looks like a stormy sea, with dark rum swirling on top of lighter ginger beer.

This connection made the Dark and Stormy even more appealing. It became a popular choice for both tourists and locals. Over the years, the cocktail has become a symbol of Bermuda’s vibrant culture and hospitality.

In 1991, the Dark and Stormy was trademarked by Gosling’s, further solidifying its place in cocktail history. The company has since held the rights to the name, stating that to be a true Dark and Stormy, the drink must be made with their Black Seal Rum. This has helped maintain the drink’s authenticity and has ensured that it stays true to its roots.

The Dark and Stormy has become popular in culture. It often appears in movies, TV shows, and books as a classic tropical drink. Its simple preparation and strong flavors have made it popular with bartenders and cocktail lovers. This has led to many variations and adaptations worldwide.
