Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 ounces Dark rum

Instructions
Fill a highball glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
Pour 4 ounces of ginger beer into the glass.
Slowly float 2 ounces of dark rum over the ginger beer by pouring it over the back of a spoon to create a layered effect.
Cut the lime in half. Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the drink, and optionally use the remaining half as a garnish slice.

Gently stir the drink just a little to incorporate the layers while keeping the visual effect intact.
Serve immediately with a straw or sip directly from the glass. Enjoy your Dark and Stormy!
