This refreshing drink takes the traditional Bermuda favorite and infuses it with the warm, aromatic spices of India. Imagine sipping on a Moscow Mule, but with a deeper, more complex flavor profile that's sure to transport you to the vibrant streets of Mumbai.
The Indian Dark 'n' Stormy Recipe
This innovative cocktail is the brainchild of Sai Pawan, head of bar at Farzi in London, and it's a game-changer. Here's what you'll need:
- 1 slice fresh turmeric
- 40ml aged dark rum (try an Indian rum like Old Monk 7-year-old)
- 10ml fresh lime juice
- 100ml ginger beer
- 2 drops cardamom bitters
- 1 sprig fresh mint, to garnish
To make this beauty, simply muddle the turmeric in a Boston shaker, add the rum, lime juice, and ginger beer, and finish with a dash of cardamom bitters. Strain into a tumbler filled with ice and garnish with fresh mint.
The Flavor Profile
The combination of spices and ingredients creates a fascinating flavor profile. The turmeric adds a subtle earthy note, while the cardamom bitters bring a sweet, herbal undertone. The ginger beer adds a spicy kick, balanced perfectly by the richness of the dark rum. It's a true flavor sensation.
Pair this cocktail with some delicious Indian cuisine, like a hearty curry or some crispy naan bread. The spices and flavors will complement each other beautifully, making for a truly unforgettable dining experience.
