Dark ’n’ Stormy: Golden Cipher

Hamilton, Bermuda Atlantic/Bermuda

History

Bermudian sailors mixed local Goslings Black Seal rum with ginger beer after World War I. The brand later trademarked the cocktail’s name. This is a clearly labeled house field riff rather than a historical classic: Honey rounds the edges with floral sweetness and a longer finish.
