Ginger beer has a stronger ginger flavor.

beautiful pics Chings. i too D&S'd this weekend. Reverse on the plaza serves them in copper mugs.
i went to a speakeasy in downtown L.A. where i had the best D&S in the world, they used homemade ginger beer.
not sure if i already posted this but in case i forgot- try adding a dose of this to your D&S.

I really owe it to myself to get on this bandwagon. Sure, I enjoy the hell out of the occasional D&S when 'Clams is the chef, but I need to start taking some responsibility and making my own.

Been enjoying some D&S tonight. HIGHLY recommend this rum:

94 proof. :surprised: Great taste to complement the ginger beer.

Saw the bottle for sale. Thought about purchasing just for it's sexiness.

Cool.
I'd scream "Release the Kraken" every time I pee'd while I was drinking that, if I were you.

Went to a bdayparty tonight that featured a drink of champagne,cointreau, and some kind of lemon liquer. It was really effing good, apparently french sangria
-
Saw a beer at the lq tonight that was a beer w/ ginger in it. Weird or common? GandS fans interested or old hat? Dunno. Unsure.

Pretty sure ginger is a rhizome, not a root.

I've been told that the trickiest part of a D&S is finding good ginger beer and I have also been told that I am in a ginger beer hotbed so my question is should I give one of these a try and have I received good advice?

Have ^ and found some Fentiman's to go with my Black Strap Rum. Forecast is looking Dark and Stormy!!
-
I have been told the trickiest and most crucial part of a D&S is securing high quality Ginger beer. I have also been told (from a separate source) that there is excellent Ginger beer to be had in my locale. I'm letting these two consejos sink in as I determine my next move.
-
guys never had a dark 'n stormy. going to liquor store, what do i need to get? be brand specific.
-
okay, googled it, i read you need goosling's spiced rum, and barritts (sp?) ginger beer, and lime wedge optional. Can i get these things at a regular liquor store in KC? Is it important to keep these brands, others anyone has used? :runaway:
-
Good rums:
Cruzan Black Strap Rum
Pyrat
Kraken
Bacardi Anejo
Gosling
Ginger Beers:
Barritts
Fentimans
Bundaberg
Sioux City
Of course my list is not comprehensive at all.

would you recommend lime wedge?

also interweb recipe call for pretty much 2 ounces of rum, standard, but the ginger beer ranges anywhere from 3 oz to 8 oz. What is correct?

i like the lime wedge.
I use 2 oz rum
~ 6 oz ginger beer
-
man, oh man. i just walked past some bundaberg in a store last night, and i thought to myself, "i have no idea if this would be a good d&s gb or not, absolutely none". i felt like a complete ass.
-
bought some goslings and some random japanese looking ginger beer for a D&S, will report back if it's any good
-
gotta admit, I didn't like it at first, but as I drank it grew on me, and it would probably be pretty terrific with a lime wedge

the best D&S are made with Maine Root Ginger Beer, found at whole foods. strong spicy ginger.

I bet D&S's taste like trash. Ginger is a nasty root.

Claire Robinson recommends putting a thyme leaf or two in each ice cube square and filling the entire tray with ginger beer. Freeze and use as ice in your D&S. Sounds interesting.

had my d&s with a regatta tonight. ok, not as good as the fentimans. the first one that was way too sweet was a reed's, btw.
-
ya reed's is a joke. sadly, it's available everywhere. D&S's can get way too sweet really easily that's why it's important to bring the stormy to the dark and not just use any ginger beer.
-
drinking the maine root right now. good. good and gingery. i like the fentimens best though. then the maine root and some australian one (bundaberg maybe, but it said extra ginger or something on it too) are about tied.
i'll consider upgrading the rum, maybe. but i'm pretty convinced it doesn't matter. anyone know how to butter a rum? something i want to try as soon as it gets a little colder.
-
I do pyrat and in kc fentimans runs $4 a 10oz bottle so just not practical, will be doing Maine roots in a few hrs

ya I like to butter up some rum.
2 sugar cubes
2 oz dark rum (I like cruzan black strap or kraken for this)
boiling water to top up
put sugar cubes in the bottom of the glass or cup, add rum and top with water. dot the surface with butter and stir gently.
-
These are much more amazing than I thought they would be.

I am srsly gonna try one of these soon. I'm in a Ginger beer hotbed for fucks sake.

As it turns out, after I had found Sioux City ginger beer at HyVee, the only way to buy Gosling's rum at The Fridge was to buy it in a package with Gosling's Ginger Beer. Who knew?

Guys, Yardhouse puts mint leaves in their D&S. I thought this was normal until just now googling the recipe. I have nothing to compare it to, but their D&S is delish.
-
mint...meh, take it to the Not A D&S thread
-
OK so I picked up a single bottle of maine root and single bottle of ginger people to compare. I like the spice of maine root but it's almost equally sweet and spicy to me. like almost too sweet...but I'm pretty sensitive to sweet drinks. I like the flavor of ginger people but wish it were spicier. I may just combine them. :dunno:
-
i think all ginger beer is pretty sweet. + you're mixing it w/ rum.
