For an extra touch of sophistication, garnish with a lime wedge or a candied ginger slice. Adjust the rum to ginger beer ratio to suit your personal preference. Some prefer a stronger rum flavor, while others enjoy a more pronounced ginger beer tang. Use high-quality ginger beer for the best flavor. Avoid overly sweet or artificial-tasting brands. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the dark rum with a dark rum extract or a non-alcoholic dark rum alternative.
