Sailor’s Swizzle is a remarkable rum cocktail: easy to make and full of fantastic flavor.
I have just recently come across this recipe and new immediately that I have to make one, and it was a pleasant surprise. I do not usually prepare cocktails with wine, but I can now say, that the addition of port in this cocktail is essential. Unfortunately, I did not have Ruby Port, so I had to substitute it with Tawny. Even so, I think that substitution worked well, because the finished drink was amazing.
White rum provides a solid base for the drink, while allspice dram paired imaginatively with port brings fragrant and fruity notes to the mix. Lime introduces some fresh, sour tastes, balanced by a small addition of simple syrup. All together this results in a refreshing, magical cocktail, that I recommend to try.
