Swizzle Français
The Swizzle Français is the creation of none other than Martin Cate, the man behind the Smuggler’s Cove tiki revival restaurant and the cocktail book of the same name. It’s a simple recipe, but it’s bursting with the flavors of the rum islands: grassy sugarcane rhum agricole (preferably aged), tart lime, and the multilayered piquancy of allspice dram.
Ingredients
- 2 parts Aged rhum agricole or Unaged rhum agricole
- ¼ part Allspice dram
- ½ part Lime juice
- ½ part Simple syrup or Brown sugar syrup
Instructions
Add everything (except the nutmeg), plus crushed ice, to a tall glass or tiki mug. Place a swizzle stick or barspoon in the ice, and roll the stem between your palms to gently whisk, moving and and down in the glass until mixed and well-chilled. Top with additional crushed ice, if needed, and dust with fresh-grated nutmeg. Garnish with a mint sprig and a wedge or wheel of lime.
