  • 4 ounces ginger beer
  • 1 wedge lime, for garnish
  • 1 cup ice cubes

Method

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice cubes.

  2. Pour the ginger beer over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full.

  3. Slowly pour the dark rum over the top so it floats and creates a layered effect.

  4. Squeeze a lime wedge over the drink and drop it in, then serve without stirring for the classic layered look, or stir gently to combine.
