This R&D Batch is sold out as of July 3, 2023.
Our Summer 2023 R&D Batch is inspired by the classic “Dark ‘n Stormy” cocktail of dark rum, ginger beer, and lime. Invented in the 1920s with a name trademarked by the dark rum maker Goslings, the recipe has its origins in a Bermuda ginger beer factory that ran as a subsidiary of the Royal Naval Officer’s Club. Apparently, thirsty sailors discovered that a splash of the local Goslings Black Seal Rum and a wedge of lime were just what the ginger beer was missing. The name of the cocktail was said to have originated when an old fisherman observed that the drink was the “color of a cloud only a fool or dead man would sail under.”
Whatever the case may be, we are big fans of their concept! The invigorating "storm” of ginger and lime in this nut butter recipe is anything but dark, so we named this summer’s R&D Batch “Bright & Stormy.” We think you’ll taste the sunshine and lightning in the jar!
This vegan R&D Batch is handmade with heirloom Mission variety almonds, Organic Fair Labor cashews, Organic coconut nectar, crystallized Fiji ginger, ginger powder, dehydrated lime juice, and Jacobsen sea salt. A touch of Organic cocoa butter is blended into the recipe to mimic the deep, tropical notes of Caribbean rum. Expect a perfectly balanced bite that starts with the roasty goodness of our almond & cashew blend and ends with a burst of citrus you’ll be craving later.
So far, our favorite ways to eat this nut butter are on slices of fresh summer pears (like Bartletts), in Greek yogurt parfaits, spread on warm waffles, and atop Club crackers with a Dark n’ Stormy cocktail nearby. This R&D Batch is also amazing in a smoothie with banana, almond milk, and avocado.
