a dash of history: the origin of stormy valley
Stormy Valley is a bold, tropical twist on the classic Dark ‘n’ Stormy, blending rich rum with zesty citrus and fiery ginger for a refreshing yet intense sip. Inspired by the lush, storm-kissed valleys of the Caribbean, this cocktail evokes the vibrant energy of island life with every pour.
The Appleton Estate Signature Blend Rum provides a deep, molasses-rich base that anchors the drink with warmth and complexity. Fresh lime juice adds a bright, tangy contrast, while a touch of simple syrup balances the acidity with subtle sweetness. The ginger beer crowns the cocktail with a spicy effervescence that dances on the palate, making each sip both invigorating and satisfying.
Stormy Valley is perfect for warm evenings, beachside gatherings, or any occasion that calls for a drink with character and flair. Served in a highball glass over ice and garnished with a lime wedge, it’s a visual and sensory delight that invites conversation and celebration.
