Notes
Helpful tips
Use a dark and light rum for best results. The dark rum gives you the nice color and the white rum evens out the heaviness of the dark rum.
Gosling's rum is the dark rum I use. It is robust, flavorful, and consistently delicious in any cocktail.
For best results, use orange juice without pulp.
If you make one rum swizzle cocktail, you can make it in a cocktail shaker instead of the big receptacle, but just know, that everyone would love one, so make more than one.
Use a few different shaped glasses as it shows the cocktail off in fun ways.
There are different ways to garnish this cocktail. I choose to use slices of an orange but you can also use a pineapple wedge.
