This delightful drink not only boasts a tantalizing blend of flavors but also fits the bill for those mindful of dietary restrictions—it’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and low FODMAP! Whether you're enjoying a sunny afternoon on the patio or hosting an intimate dinner with friends, this cocktail is sure to impress and elevate the occasion.

The magic begins with two shots of rich, premium rum, perfectly complemented by the zesty kick of ginger beer. I recommend opting for Reed's extra ginger ginger beer for that extra oomph, enhancing the drink's character with bold, spicy notes that dance on your palate. A splash of fresh lime juice adds a refreshing tartness that ties everything together. Not only is it easy to prepare, but it's also a unique conversation starter as you whip up this island-inspired beverage.

So, why not treat yourself to a taste of Bermuda with this simple yet sophisticated cocktail? With just a few ingredients and easy preparation, you can indulge in a drink that's not only delectable but also tailored to accommodate a variety of dietary needs. Shake off your stress and let the Dark 'n' Stormy transport you to a tropical paradise, sip by sip.
