Easy Rum Drink To Know - The Queen's Park Swizzle

Video Description

Today we're having a Queen's Park Swizzle! This is a wonderful rum drink to know. We build this one right in the glass and swizzle with crushed ice - quick, easy, and super refreshing! It's like an elevated mojito, and was the house cocktail of the Queen's Park Hotel in Port of Spain, Trinidad over a hundred years ago. So although this rum drink predates the tiki era, the inclusion of crushed ice with its tropical origins make it an easy fit among other classic tiki drinks. I always enjoy a mojito, and I love my aromatic bitters, so this one checks all the right boxes for me! I know you'll love it too - cheers!
