Yields

5 servings

Ingredients

Gosling’s Black Seal Rum 1 3/4 ounces x 5 = 8 3/4 ounces
Ginger Beer 4 ounces x 5 = 20 ounces
Lime Wedges for garnish

Instructions

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 1 3/4 ounces of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum to the shaker.

Shake gently for about 10-15 seconds to combine and chill the rum.

Strain the rum into a highball glass filled with ice. Top the rum with 4 ounces of ginger beer.

Stir gently to combine.

Squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop it in. Repeat the process to make 4 more drinks.

Notes

For a stronger drink, use 2 ounces of rum, but be careful not to overpower the ginger beer.

If you prefer a milder flavor, use 1 1/2 ounces of rum.

You can adjust the amount of ginger beer to your taste – some like it stronger, others prefer it more subtle.

Don’t forget to squeeze that lime wedge over the drink to bring out the flavors! You can also garnish with a sprig of fresh mint if you’re feeling fancy.

Make extra drinks ahead of time and store them in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.
