The cranberry juice adds a tartness to the drink, balancing out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

To add even more flavor, squeeze in some fresh lime juice. The lime juice adds a citrusy tang to the drink, complementing the other fruity flavors. Finally, top off the glass with a splash of club soda. The club soda adds a refreshing fizz to the cocktail, creating a delightful effervescence.

Gently stir the ingredients together to ensure they are well mixed. Garnish the cocktail with a slice of lime or a cherry for added visual appeal. Serve your Gail's Summer Storm chilled and enjoy!

Gail's Summer Storm Cocktail: A Refreshing Twist on a Classic

If you're looking for the perfect summer cocktail to enjoy on a hot day, look no further than Gail's Summer Storm. This refreshing drink is a twist on the classic Dark 'n' Stormy, with an added burst of citrus and sweetness that makes it perfect for sipping by the pool or at your next backyard barbecue.

Originating in Bermuda, the Dark 'n' Stormy is traditionally made with dark rum and ginger beer. Gail's Summer Storm takes this classic combination to new heights by adding fresh lime juice and simple syrup for a bright and zesty flavor profile that will keep you coming back for more.

To make Gail's Summer Storm cocktail, start by filling a highball glass with ice. Add 2 ounces of dark rum (such as Gosling's Black Seal) to the glass, followed by 1 ounce of freshly squeezed lime juice and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup. Top off the drink with ginger beer (we recommend using Fever-Tree Ginger Beer for its bold flavor) and give it a gentle stir to combine all the ingredients.

The result is a beautifully balanced cocktail that combines the warmth of dark rum with the crispness of lime and ginger beer. The simple syrup adds just enough sweetness to round out the flavors without overpowering them, making this drink perfect for anyone who loves a good balance of sweet and sour notes in their cocktails.

Whether you're hosting a summer soirée or just looking for something delicious to sip on while soaking up some sun, Gail's Summer Storm cocktail is sure to be a hit. So grab your favorite bottle of dark rum, some fresh limes, and plenty of ice – it's time to mix up this delightful summer libation!
