📜 History

This classic Bermuda highball pairs rich, molasses-forward dark rum with spicy ginger beer and a squeeze of fresh lime. The drink originated in Bermuda and showcases the island's famous black rum. The layered presentation—dark rum floating atop golden ginger beer—creates a striking visual effect reminiscent of storm clouds. The combination of rum's sweetness with ginger's heat and lime's brightness makes this one of the most refreshing rum highballs. It has become a staple at beach bars and rum-focused establishments worldwide.
