Rum Swizzle

Description

The Rum Swizzle is a vibrant, rum-based cocktail that originates from Bermuda, often referred to as its national drink. The Swizzle Inn, the oldest pub in Bermudas, is credited with popularzing this refreshing and complex cocktail.

A Swizzle is both a drink and a method named after the traditional swizzle stick, which was used to mix cocktails by rapidly stirring with a twig from the quararibea tree. The Rum Swizzle blends light and dark rum, citrus juices, falernum (or simple syrup), and aromatic bitters, creating a rich, tangy, and spiced profile perfect for warm weather.
