Gluten-Free Jamaican Swizzle Cocktail Recipe
Super approachable and refreshing, with the tropical funkiness we love about Jamaican rums.
Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 ounces dark Jamaican rum preferably Appleton Estate Reserve Jamaican Rum
- 4 ounces coconut water
- 3⁄4 ounce fresh lime juice
- 1⁄2 ounce Rich Simple Syrup (below)
- 3 dashes Angostura bitters
- 1 long strip lime peel for garnish (optional)
Instructions
-
In a highball glass filled with crushed ice, add the rum, coconut water, lime juice, and simple syrup and stir to combine. Add a mound of crushed ice, drizzle the bitters over the top, garnish with the lime peel, and serve with a swizzle stick.
Rich Simple Syrup
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup cane sugar (unrefined)
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
-
This syrup is more concentrated than regular simple syrup, so it allows you to add more sweetness and mouthfeel to your drink without watering it down: Combine 2⁄3 cup unrefined cane sugar and 1⁄4 cup water in a small pot over low heat, stir until the sugar dissolves, then cool.
