Notes
The Dark 'N' Stormy Beer Cocktail is a hybrid drink that should maintain the integrity of its components. Be sure to use a good quality dark rum and a spicy ginger beer to achieve the best flavor profile. The stout or dark lager should be poured gently to preserve its carbonation and to prevent it from foaming over.
