How To Serve Dark and Stormy Rum Cocktails
Much like a Moscow mule, dark and stormy cocktails combine ginger beer with vodka instead of rum.
The typical copper mug is a frosty delight when serving a Moscow mule and can be used for dark and stormy cocktails as well.
Alternatively, I love to serve my summer cocktails in unbreakable melamine tumblers.
For best results, fill tumblers with ample ice and pour over the rum, ginger beer and lime juice into each glass.
Add a wedge of lime as garnish and serve!
For larger parties, combine rum with bottles of ginger beer and fresh lime juice in a punch bowl.
Offer tumblers in a chilled ice bucket for guests to take and serve themselves.
A bowl of cleaned and cut limes are a welcome touch!

Have fun creating your very own dark and stormy cocktails.
If you prefer light rum, start there and add any variety of tart and delicious mixers.
Add muddled fruits such as peach or strawberries.
Substitute lemons for limes in a pinch.
Try different ginger beer brands and find the one you love.
If you get in a pinch, use ginger ale with plenty of lime juice to cut the sweetness.
And if you prefer a mocktail, combine tart ginger beer with lots of fresh lime juice and sparkling water or club soda.
