  • About

Invented in the late 1800s, this Caribbean-born drink gets its name from the wooden tool that, when submerged in the drink and quickly spun back and forth between your palms, makes the drink frothy. If you don’t have a swizzle stick, stir the drink with a barspoon and it will still taste good.

Ingredients

  • fl oz (45 ml) white rum
  • ¾ fl oz (20

Method

Combine the rum, falernum, lime juice, and absinthe in a collins glass and fill halfway with crushed ice. Whip vigorously with a swizzle stick to combine.

Add more crushed ice to fill and finish with the bitters on top for color.

Serve with a straw.
