For all the surprising rainfall we've been getting this summer, we're giving a toast to the classic Dark 'n' Stormy cocktail using our sweet Heartbreaker sugar rimmer.

Invented in Bermuda, this simple drink has two key parts - dark rum (the "dark") and ginger beer (the "stormy").

Our recipe uses Kraken spiced rum that pairs beautifully with a ginger beer. Since this is a pretty spicy drink, the Heartbreaker sugar rimmer softens this drink a lot by bringing out the sweet caramel notes in the rum. 

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Kraken spiced rum
• 3 oz ginger beer
• .5 oz lime juice
• lime wedge (for garnish)
• Heartbreaker cocktail rimmer

Instructions:

1. Pour 1 tablespoon of Heartbreaker cocktail rimmer onto a plate
2. Moisten the rim of your glass with a lemon wedge and evenly dip your glass into rimmer
3. Fill glass with ice, lime juice, ginger beer, and rum
4. Garnish with a lime wedge

The trick to getting the layered look is to add the rum last, giving this drink the dark and stormy look it's named for.
