dark and stormy

Ominous weather conditions

A dark and stormy is a cocktail made with dark rum and ginger beer, typically served over ice with a squeeze of lime.

The name describes the drink's appearance—the dark rum floating on pale ginger beer suggests storm clouds.

I'll have a dark and stormy.
