From the Bartender

The vanilla and caramel notes in spiced rum are what sell the 'cream soda' illusion - brands like Captain Morgan or Sailor Jerry work especially well here. For a richer result, try a dark spiced rum like Kraken, which deepens the molasses undertone.

Galliano

GG

A bright and effervescent highball where Galliano's herbal-vanilla sweetness and warm anise notes dance atop sparkling ginger ale, delivering a refreshing yet complex sipper with gentle spice and a clean, lightly botanical finish.

Captain Morgan Spiced Rum

Happy Skipper

Sweet and lightly spiced with warm vanilla and cinnamon notes from the rum, lifted by the crisp, gingery effervescence and a bright squeeze of citrus - refreshing, approachable, and dangerously easy-drinking.

White Rum

A Furlong Too Late

Crisp and effervescent, with clean white rum providing a light sweetness that plays off ginger beer's fiery warmth and tingle. Expressed lemon oils on the nose keep everything bright and lively, making this a refreshingly simple but satisfying long drink.

Gosling's Black Seal Dark Rum

Dark 'n' Stormy

Bold molasses-rich rum floats over fiery, effervescent ginger beer, delivering a warming spice hit upfront that gives way to a deep, bittersweet finish with a long peppery ginger fade.
