Bermuda Rum Swizzle
A tiki-style fruit punch swizzled to frothy perfection.
The Bermuda Rum Swizzle is a fruit-forward punch that differs from the Queen's Park Swizzle by including fruit juices (orange and pineapple) and Grenadine, making it richer and sweeter. It is the national drink of Bermuda, traditionally made with a blend of Gosling's Black Seal and Gold rums. The swizzle technique aerates the juices, creating a thick, frothy head that captures the aromatics. It is the archetype of the 'resort' cocktail.

Bartender's Note
Bitters are essential here; they cut the fruit sugar and link the flavors to the spice of the rum.
