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

  1. 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

  1. 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.
