Cocktail Copyright
Having a quick look around the blogosphere (how much I hate that term cannot be measured in ounces) and stumbled across a slightly worrying fact.
Apparently the cocktail Dark ‘n’ Stormy is a registered trademark in the US. It’s registered by Goslings and the trademark DEMANDS that any cocktail calling itself a Dark ‘n’ Stormy uses Goslings Black Seal rum.
The strange thing is my recipe for a Dark ‘n’ Stormy calls for Goslings by name, because frankly, it tastes better than other alternatives.
This little fact might make me change the name and use a different Rum. I do hope this doesn’t become a trend, the possibilities are endless, and a little bit scary.
