Absolutely delightful, perfect swizzle. I doubt anything can top this. I used a blend of Old Monk, OFTD and Appleton Reserve Blend to simulate somewhat of a complex yet potent Demerara Rum. The Falernum and brown sugar make it delectable and warming, yet refreshing and complex. Deserves the 5* no doubt and I think you can experiment with the rum or rums!

This is grand.

This is not very far away from a drink called a Freight Train Swizzle which adds a touch of Green Chartreuse and leaves out the lemon juice. Either way you can’t go wrong!

I just made one of these, and it's genuinely one of my favorite swizzles I've ever tried. Thanks for the tip!

Bacardi 8 year worked well for this. Prominent rum flavor, but balanced out by the citrus/clove/brown sugar/bitters. Great easy-to-make rum drink.

Delicious - rum leads the flavor, and is underscored by the Demerara syrup. Falernum and bitters add depth of flavor, and the lime (softened by the lemon) give a citrus brightness.

Made this with diplomatico reserva exclusiva. Gorgeous! The garnishes really add to the whole experience. The drink is dark and sticky but smells fresh because of the mint/orange.
