I made one of my favorite Trinidadian dishes last night (doubles), and what better pairing than the Queen’s Park swizzle — named after the Queen’s Park Savannah in Port of Spain where carnival takes place. Of course it has angostura, along with black rum and mint. Lovely! I took this recipe from smuggler’s cove.

  • 4 mint leaves
  • ½ oz lime juice
  • ½ oz Smuggler’s Cove Demerara Syrup
  • 2 oz black blended rum
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 1 mint sprig

Gently muddle the mint leaves with lime juice and syrup in the glass. Add the rum and bitters. Add crushed ice until the glass is three-quarters full, then swizzle. Top with crushed ice to fill the glass, and garnish with a mint sprig.

    Ahh these are great, always thought of it as a mojito with much more depth

    And now I find myself wanting one before 10am on a Sunday… Might be a touch early
