The Dark & Rainy is a rich, spicy, and unexpectedly smooth take on the classic Dark & Stormy, made moodier and deeper with a touch of coffee liqueur.

This cocktail brings together the boldness of dark rum, the zing of ginger beer, and the roasted warmth of coffee, making it a standout drink for stormy evenings, cozy nights in, or fireside conversations with friends.

Served in a highball glass over ice and finished with a lime wheel, the Dark & Rainy offers the same invigorating spice and refreshment of the original, but with a darker, more luxurious personality.

A Brooding Blend of Rum, Coffee, and Ginger Spice

At the heart of this cocktail is dark rum, known for its molasses-rich body and warm finish. The addition of coffee liqueur brings depth and a subtle sweetness, creating a bold backdrop that contrasts beautifully with the sharp citrus of lime juice. Topped with ginger beer, the drink becomes lively and effervescent, while maintaining its stormy, earthy soul. The lime wheel garnish adds a pop of brightness and visual appeal, rounding out the flavor profile with a fresh, citrusy aroma.

Bold, Spicy, and Comfortingly Complex

The Dark & Rainy is perfect for those who enjoy dark spirits with layered complexity, or anyone seeking a seasonal variation on a beloved classic. Its spicy, slightly sweet, and just bitter enough, offering a warming embrace with every sip.

Perfect for Cool Evenings and Moody Moments

This cocktail is right at home on rainy nights, around a campfire, or served with rich dishes and dark chocolate desserts. It's a natural fit for autumn and winter, but refreshing enough to enjoy year-round when you're in the mood for something earthy, spicy, and a little bit different.
