Dark & Stormy Secret

While you might never find that hidden chest of buried pirate treasure, sipping a Dark & Stormy Secret may just be the next best thing. This drink is a delightful variation on the classic "Dark 'n Stormy" cocktail, which has been made so famous by Goslings Black Seal Rum. And what is the secret to this particular version? Just a few drops of Angostura bitters, which contribute some incredibly delicious depth...and perhaps a little bit of Caribbean mystery!
