Dark and Stormy #2 recipe

I loved this drink in Bermuda, but nobody ever heard of "ginger beer" in US. Where can I get it state-side??

I'm a big fan, just recently had a few at a place called Lucky's in Boston. I know of one place you can get Ginger Beer in the states and that's at the supermarket Trader Joe's...just picked some up today.

Can be found at Bevmo.com. Also great with vodka.

Sam's Liquors has most brands of ginger beer. Stewarts, Barretts, and others. Problem is all come in a 4 pack of bottles for about 5 bucks. Sells a lot in Chicago area believe it or not. Stewarts are famous for Birch Beer, Root Beer....same company.

Ginger beer is most definitely NOT ginger ale.

One can sometimes find Goya brand ginger beer in the Goya aisle of a good supermarket. It's near the Malta Goya and other Goya drinks. I find the Goya brand stronger -- and therefore better -- than the Trader Joe's brand. (Ginger beer is not the same as ginger ale, by the way.)

I'd highly recommend everyone try a Dark & Stormy using Blenheim's HOT Ginger Ale (it comes with a pink bottle cap).

Once you've had this you won't want to use anything else.

Around here, this drink is called a Partly Cloudy, not a Dark and Stormy. D&S should be made with Gosling's 151, not the girly 80 proof stuff. Best ginger beer? Tried 'em all, and Cock &Bull is tops hands down, but hard to find. Also, add a shot of bitters to the mix. Now you've got a drink.

Goslings will tell you the official recipe is just ginger beer and rum, but what do they know? They just make the stuff... We drink it.

In the UK, ginger ale is a short mixer (such as Canada Dry). No use at all for a Dark and Stormy!

Ohh my, come xmas...any light, tasty, dark rum with ice, ginger beer and a dash of lime or lemon juice [or even cordial] is cheery and festive...surely!
