Dark 'N Stormy: Kauai's North Shore in a Glass

A mixologist’s take on a bold classic—with a Hawaiian twist

Bold, moody, and layered with island spirit

There’s something magnetic about the stormy drama of Kauaʻi’s North Shore—the crashing surf, the wind-whipped palms, the golden light before a downpour. This drink channels that exact energy.

Traditionally bold and brooding, the Dark 'n Stormy becomes something more refined when made with Kōloa Dark Rum—smooth, cane sugar–based, and layered with notes of vanilla, espresso, and semi-sweet chocolate. It’s still dramatic, but now with elegance and balance.

Whether you're sipping it at sunset or serving it to friends, this cocktail feels like a tropical storm in a glass—in the best possible way.
