MilkyJoe Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 1 hour ago, Funkyfairy! said: Goslings dark rum mmmm from Bermuda , where the dark n stormy originated. I was out there for two weeks last year with work , they do frozen version mmmmm and a dark n very stormy which is made with ginger mmmm can't remember. What I do remember is drinking far too many of them on Bermuda day, plus the ginger should go in first and then the rum and don't stir , and they sell Dark n stormy in cans (lush ) .... Oh and I don't think its legal in America (or somewhere ) to call a dark n stormy a dark n stormy unless it's made with goslings dark rum thank goodness goslings is in the supermarket and I can keep a stock lol Is it too early for one now ? Tis correct Funkyfairy, Dark 'n' Stormy is a trademark in the US by the Goslins. Presumably you'd still be able to call it Dark & Stormy though? And it's never too early!

H.M.V Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 I've only just woke up and can confirm goslings is indeed lovely and if I had some I'd be tempted by one now. Dammit gonna have to find some later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkyJoe Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 That's probably the whiskey Lucy! At a risk of incurring somebody's wrath it is an evil horrible drink! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is. Everybody can stockpile their evil bottles of evil malt whisky and I will sacrifice my sanity and health getting rid of them for you all. I know, selfless giving. Ok, in other news, thanks to Dizzy's link, I've got GH and MJ set up on the mobile page.

I want dark rum non spiced for stormy. Gingerbeer is plenty spice for that. Is ginger beer freely available around the site? I love a good rum but without the right mixer it can be lethal. I do like Kraken, lovely and dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a jerk chicken place think markets or west Holt's that has plenty available for a quid a can. Some of the veggie bus places have the organic stuff. So i tend to just grab a couple as i pass by. Limes, rum and drinking vessel with me. I wish I could like Kraken but I really don't have love for spiced rum. Prefer to add angostura bitters.

Never tried adding those to rum, I'll probably decant a bottle of kraken into something plastic and then even if I don't find any mixer I can still have it straight.

She's right, discovered adding bitters a few weeks ago and it makes a massive difference! Off to see guardians later as well Georgie, looking forward to it! Somehow managed to drag myself off to the Saturday morning 5km parkrun earlier. I seem to run faster with a hangover, managed to set a new PB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.M.V Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 All this talk of rum. Just left Booths with gingerbeer, limes and a bottle of Appleton estate and a bottle of Rumbullion. I'm holding you all responsible for my hangover tomorrow. There was no Goslings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
