Hey, sailor! Looking for a good dark ’n’ stormy? The drink comprised of old smoky Gosling’s rum and ginger beer was first concocted in Bermuda.

Le Lab is well known in Montreal for their mixology skills and versatile cocktails. Their rendition of the dark ’n’ stormy is called le Bébé Dragon — made with spiced rum, lemon juice and their infernal house ginger syrup. For their typical Lab flare, they’ve added basil, mango and citrus soda. This cocktail is a must-try.
