One of the iconic rum cocktails is the Dark ‘n Stormy, which mixes dark Goslings rum with ginger beer and adds a lime wedge for a simple, delicious, and slightly spicy treat that’s perfect for fall. But there are other uses for Goslings rum too, which is known for its dark color and deep flavors. If you’re looking to get into the Halloween mood, there are plenty of fun and tasty rum cocktails to take advantage of this unique spirit.
