Pro Tips

  • Gosling's Black Seal is non-negotiable — the molasses-depth rum is what makes a Swizzle a Swizzle.
  • Swizzle for at least 2 minutes — you want the glass visibly frosted.
  • Traditional Swizzlemaker: use an actual swizzle stick (a forked tree branch); a bar spoon works but doesn't hit the same.
