Cocktail Description

The Rum Swizzle Twizzle delivers a thunderbolt of Jamaican funk that dances between citrus brightness and rich orange depth.

This vibrant cocktail combines the bold, high-ester Smith & Cross rum with two complementary orange liqueurs and fresh lime juice for a multilayered tropical experience. When topped with club soda, it transforms into a refreshing yet complex sipper that maintains its punch while offering delightful effervescence. The Rum Swizzle Twizzle is surprisingly straightforward to make despite its sophisticated flavor profile—just shake, strain over crushed ice, and top with soda. It's the perfect cocktail for summer gatherings or whenever you want to transport yourself to island time without committing to overly sweet tiki drinks. The robust rum backbone stands up beautifully to spicy jerk chicken, coconut shrimp, or even a rich chocolate dessert, with the Luxardo cherry garnish adding a final touch of luxurious sweetness.
