1 Video | Photo: Dark and Stormy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 (4-inch) piece ginger, sliced, reserve 4 slices for garnish
- Ice
- 1 liter seltzer water
- 4 shots dark rum
- 4 lime wedges, for garnish
- 4 small skewers
Directions
In a small pot over medium heat, combine the sugar, water and the ginger. Bring to a boil then shut off the heat and let cool to room temperature.
Fill 4 glasses with ice. Pour seltzer water into the bottom third of each glass. Add 1/4 cup of the ginger simple syrup to each glass and gently stir. Put a teaspoon upside down over the glass and pour 1 shot of rum over the spoon, so that the rum stays separated from the seltzer.
Put slice of ginger and lime wedge onto each skewer. Garnish each drink with the skewer and enjoy.

I love a good Dark & Stormy, and have tried several recipes, but this is the best I ever had. It makes a big difference when you make your own ginger syrup. The syrup can be adjusted to taste. I love a big ginger flavor, but can tone it down for company. I make the syrup ahead of time, so the drinks are fast to assemble. I must admit, I love coming home from a hard day knowing the ginger syrup and rum are ready to go. Bravo, Brian....you are an amazing cook!

Well, a tropical storm is on it's way to New Orleans. This will be a great drink for those dark stormy nights that await. Been looking for a good drink to use the dark rum (callewood we got as a gift. And ginger and lime are my favorites. Will try tonight.

Great drink! I tried the ginger syrup from the Ginger People b/c I didn't have time make ginger syrup--and the candied ginger makes a garnish-
