📜 History
The Dark and Stormy cocktail originated in Bermuda in the post-World War I era, traditionally made with Goslings Black Seal rum and ginger beer. British sailors combined rum rations with locally brewed ginger beer, a common remedy for seasickness, creating a drink that became Bermuda's national cocktail. The Virgin Dark and Stormy removes the rum while keeping the bold ginger-and-lime foundation that made the original so beloved. The result is a fiercely spiced, zero-proof drink that delivers real character without alcohol.
