Tropical origins, swizzled and from the Caribbean. The Queen’s Park Swizzle has the ingredients of a great cocktail. Trader Vic, a notable tropical drink creator said “this is the most delightful form of anaesthesia given out today” – he loved it. If you like a Mojito, you should try this. It’s like a Mojito but with dark rum providing sweet caramel flavour and bitters giving more spice and cinnamon notes. Plus, you get to swizzle this so have a sturdy glass and surface to work on. We have two great spirits to make this. We have chosen Diplomatico for its dark chcolate and oaky flavours that play perfectly with the cinnamon from Fee Brothers. Diplomatico is from Venezuela, the QP Swizzle was born in Trinidad but we just love Diplomatico in this cocktail, forgive us.
