- 1 1/2 oz. Gosling’s Black Seal Rum

The Experience
The Dark ’n Stormy has the feel and flavor of island reality. It’s not your overly-sweet, ice-cream-headache Daiquiri, or your boozy, drunk-on-vacation Mai Tai. And it’s definitely not Margaritaville. Instead, this drink says that you know your way around the back roads of this island, and have more than once had to stop for milk on the way home from the beach. If you don’t own a boat you know where to borrow one for the price of a handshake and a six pack (or a bottle of Gosling’s).
