History

Dark’n’Stormy Shot is a bite-sized riff on the classic Dark ’n’ Stormy, layering dark rum over ginger beer and ginger liqueur with a touch of lime. It compresses the original’s spicy ginger, molasses-like rum richness, and citrus brightness into a concentrated form. The float of rum on top adds aroma and a brief, boozy punch before the ginger and lime rush in. As shots go, it’s flavorful and relatively restrained, ideal for those who want character without harshness.
