The recipe for Rockpool Bar & Grill’s sultry dark and stormy with house-made ginger beer as featured in our March newsletter.
Dark and Stormy
50ml aged dark rum
10ml fresh lime juice
60ml house ginger beer
Build the ingredients in a high ball without ice. Be aware, the carbonated ginger beer has a lot of fizz when mixed with ice. Add ice and garnish with a lime cheek and mint sprig. The kick of the fresh ginger combined with the honey and rum is one of the great beverage pairings.
Ginger beer
600g peeled baby ginger root
4 litres water
600g honey
100g sugar
Add the finely sliced ginger to the water in a pot and bring to the boil. Blend the ginger water with a hand blender and return to the heat. Shut off the heat. Add the honey and sugar. Stir well and cover for 1 hour. Strain through a fine chinois or cheesecloth and allow to cool. Transfer into bottles and refrigerate.

Sounds a great drink – how long will the ginger beer mix last in the fridge?
Your ginger beer mixture will last at least a week, however past this time the spice will deteriorate. Be sure to keep refrigerated!
