Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer

Goslings classic cocktails needed the best Ginger Beer, so they made their own.

In 1806, James Gosling set out from England with an inventory of goods bound for America to sell. Delays ensued in route and the ship’s charter (a license to sail and conduct business) expired, so the ship docked at Bermuda to sort out the paperwork. By the time the ship was ready to continue its voyage to America, James had decided to remain. He opened up the famous Goslings storefront that remains to this day. And since his father was a Wine and Spirits merchant back home, embarking on a new venture of producing quality Rum was a natural next step. Today, Goslings Bermuda Rums are famous around the world.

Ginger Beer has become one of the most popular mixers in the modern cocktail-maker’s cabinet. It is the vital "second ingredient" in Goslings famous Dark ’N Stormy and Cider ’N Stormy, an indispensable element in a Moscow Mule, the fizz in a Ginger Fizz, the swizzle in the Italian Swizzle, and so many more. The quality and consistency of this mizer is important, so they decided to make their own. The team experimented for over a year with ingredients and processes in order to get the mix just exactly right. Meet Goslings Stormy Ginger Beer.
