Garnish:
Lime zest twist
How to make:
SHAKE all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.
| 1 1/2 fl oz | Gold rum (1-3 years old mellow light) |
| 1/2 fl oz | Rosso/rouge (sweet) vermouth |
| 1/2 fl oz | Lime juice (freshly squeezed) |
| 1/4 fl oz | Grenadine/pomegranate syrup (2:1) |
| 1/4 fl oz | Sugar syrup 'rich' (2 sugar to 1 water, 65.0°brix) |
| 3 dash | Angostura Aromatic Bitters |
Review:
Perhaps best described as being a Trinidadian Daiquiri due to its heavy use of Angostura Bitters. Perhaps also originally been made with Trinidad gold rum, Canning's Caroni Rum according to Owen Rutter. (If using homemade 2:1 pomegranate syrup rather than grenadine, use 20ml (2/3oz) and omit sugar syrup).
Variant:
The Queen's Park Hotel is also remembered for its Queen's Park Swizzle.
History:
Recipe adapted from If Crab No Walk: A Traveller in the West Indies, a 1932 book written by British travel writer Owen Rutter, who writes of the Queen's Park Hotel, Port of Spain, Trinidad, "The cooking is good; the servants, though slow, are attentive; there is an excellent ballroom, a first-rate band, and a good bar: 'the Long Bar with the Brass Rail,' where you may drink the Queen's Park Hotel Super Cocktail."
