Barritt's Ginger Beer is a brand of ginger beer produced in Bermuda by John Barritt & Son Ltd. It was first marketed in 1874. Barritt's is traditionally drunk on its own as a soft drink or as a mixer, famously half of the Dark 'N' Stormy cocktail.

Due to increased demand in the United States, Barritt's is now manufactured there by the North American Beverage Company.
