Additionally, the ready-to-drink dark ‘n stormy is also a convenient package for people on the go.”Mr Gosling said the ready-to-drink product had been an instant hit on the Island and that sales had been strong.Here in the US, the dark ‘n stormy cocktail has gained rapid popularity and the new canned version will accelerate that trend.
