Queen’s Park Swizzle

There are a lot of people in this world
who have never made a Queen's Park Swizzle,
and you don't have to be one of those people.
We're gonna start by tossing in maybe 10 fresh mint leaves
into a tall glass, but we are not going to muddle.
I'm just gonna take a bar spoon here
and lightly press on the mint,
maybe drag some of those leaves up the side of the glass,
just enough to leave some of those fresh mint oils behind.
Next, we're gonna add a half ounce of rich Demerara syrup.
Now we're gonna add three quarters ounce
of freshly squeezed lime juice.
Now we're gonna do two ounces of quality rum.
I'm using Probitas.
Now we're gonna add our swizzle stick to the glass.
If you don't have one, you can use a bar spoon.
Add crushed or pebble ice to the glass.
Now we put our swizzle stick or bar spoon
between both palms like this, and we swizzle.
Lift it up and down while swizzling,
while keeping the mint at the bottom of the glass.
Now top with more ice.
Next, we're gonna float several dashes
of bitters over the top.
Finally, take a little bouquet of mint,
give it a little slap around the rim of the glass,
and place it in the drink as a garnish.
Serve with a reusable straw,
and there you have your Queen's Park Swizzle.
