Cocktail Description
The Rum Citrus Swizzle is what happens when Caribbean sunshine gets captured in a glass—bright, refreshing, and impossible to sip without daydreaming of palm trees.
This vibrant cocktail balances the crisp, clean profile of Plantation 3 Stars white rum with the vanilla and spice notes from Don Q Oak Barrel Spiced Rum, creating a complex base that's both sophisticated and approachable. Fresh citrus juices provide a tangy zing while Angostura bitters add depth and subtle complexity. The splash of lemon-lime soda brings effervescence that lightens the drink without making it overly sweet. Perfect for summer gatherings or as a weekend brunch treat, this cocktail isn't particularly difficult to make—if you can shake and pour, you can master it. The Rum Citrus Swizzle pairs beautifully with seafood dishes like grilled shrimp or ceviche, though it's equally at home alongside spicy Caribbean fare where its cooling citrus notes provide a welcome counterpoint.
