Goslings Rum Debuts Dark ‘n Stormy Canned Cocktail Portfolio

NEW YORK, N.Y.— Not every country can claim an official cocktail, but Bermuda most certainly does: the Dark ‘n Stormy. Beginning this month and rolling out through April, Goslings Rum introduces a new ready-to-drink (RTD) Dark ‘n Stormy canned cocktail portfolio with a trio of tropical flavors: Pineapple, Mango, and Black Cherry, which join the original Dark ‘n Stormy in a revamped can. Each cocktail will be available nationwide via online retailers such as Drizly and Getstocked.com (SRP: $10.99, 355ml x 4 pack, 7% ABV).

The family-owned rum producer trademarked the Dark ‘n Stormy on June 9, 1980, to protect the signature cocktail’s integrity across the world, and to forever ensure that a cocktail can only be represented as an authentic Dark ‘n Stormy if it contains the key ingredient – Goslings Black Seal Rum. The newly released Dark ‘n Stormy canned cocktails are made with Goslings Black Seal Rum, Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer and a hint of fruit flavor. The Mango variety offers a clean stone fruit flavor, Black Cherry is sweet and spicy, and Pineapple is refreshing and bright.  All four varieties are made with no preservatives and are naturally sweetened with cane sugar.

“Goslings first released the Dark ‘n Stormy in a ready-to-drink format in 2012 and today’s consumer demand for convenient, high quality ready-to-drink cocktails motivated us to get creative,” says Malcolm Gosling Jr., eighth generation rum maker. “Bermuda offers an island spirit unlike anywhere else, and now that fun-loving vibe can be easily transportable to boats, beaches, golf courses, hiking trails, or any other place where mixing isn’t ideal. The sweetness of the mango, pineapple, and black cherry pairs deliciously with the spiciness of the ginger beer so there’s a ‘zip in every sip’ (our favorite tagline).”

Earlier this year, Goslings released Spirited Seas Ocean Aged Bermuda Rum, an experimental expression that is now part of the permanent portfolio.
