Cocktail Description
A Brazilian twist on the classic rum swizzle, the Velvet Swizzle delivers bright citrus and subtle spice notes that dance across your palate with every sip.
This refreshing cocktail combines the clean profile of Plantation 3 Stars rum with the tropical complexity of Avuá Falernum (a Brazilian liqueur infused with spices, nuts, and lime), balanced by fresh lime juice and accented with aromatic Peychaud's Bitters. The crushed ice dilutes slowly as you drink, creating an ever-evolving flavor experience that starts sharp and gradually mellows. Perfect for warm summer evenings or as a welcome drink at outdoor gatherings, the Velvet Swizzle offers a sophisticated yet accessible flavor profile that anyone can appreciate. It's relatively straightforward to prepare at home—the most challenging part might be mastering the swizzling technique, which aerates the drink while mixing ingredients. This bright, tropical cocktail pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, particularly those with citrus components like ceviche or grilled fish tacos with lime.
