Rum Swizzle

The story behind

Leomar Ltd.

It was in 2014 when LEOMAR Limited was created from people with long experience in the international spirits market and a high level of ambition. Based in London – the trade center of wine, spirits and distillates – with an aim to offer selective and exceptional products, in limited volumes, for consumers who know to appreciate refined and unique spirits. With an experienced network of specialized partners, LEOMAR focuses on raw materials, recipes and local producers that are in total alignment with its philosophy to create high quality spirit brands that will be distinguished and successfully developed in the international spirits market. Today, LEOMAR Limited has a portfolio of two much differentiated brands, ARTESANO Rum and THE BLUE BEETLE London Dry Gin.

This classic Caribbean cocktail combines crushed ice with spirits and citrus, “swizzled” into something between a julep and a grown-up snow cone. Frosty and tropical, it’s the quickest way to channel island time.

Ingredients

SERVINGS: MAKES 4

– 8 ounces ARTESANO White Dry Rum
– 4 ounces fresh lime juice
– 2 ounces simple syrup
– Angostura bitters, freshly grated nutmeg, mint sprigs (for serving)

Preparation

Combine ARTESANO White Dry Rum, lime juice, and simple syrup in a measuring glass; cover and chill. 

Divide mixture among 4 Collins glasses. Fill 1 glass with crushed ice and push a swizzle stick or bar spoon just below surface of the ice. Rapidly roll stick between your palms, working your way down and pulling up occasionally to blend cocktail, until chilled, about 10 seconds. Top off with more ice, doming above rim; finish with a dash of bitters, nutmeg, and a sprig of mint. Repeat with remaining drinks.
