Queen's Park Swizzle

Source: Trader Vic's Bartender's Guide adapted by Smugglers Cove.

Origin: Traditional Trinidad Recipe

I do not take credit for this recipe, except that I make a very simple Demerara Syrup for this recipe. Much like a daiquiri, this cocktail is often adapted to the users preference. So be mindful friends and purchase the Smuggler's Cove cocktail book for everything Rum!

Servings 1 cocktail

Ingredients

  • 4 mint leaves
  • 1/2 oz Freshly Squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1/2 oz Demerara Syrup 1:1 ratio
  • 2 oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum
  • 2 dashes Angostura Bitters

Instructions

  1. In a collins glass, add your mint and gently muddle.

  2. Add the rest of you ingredients inside the glass.

  3. Fill your glass with crushed ice 3/4 of the way and swizzle/churn(aka stir) until combined.

  4. Top up with more crushed ice until you get a nice dome on top. Garnish with Mint, straw and have a cocktail napkin ring around so you can easily hold. The drink is ready when the outside of your glass is all frosted over!
