The 151 Swizzle
Following Wednesday's post on the appeal of higher-proof spirits in cocktails, here's a drink that may appear formidable at first glance, but if treated with due respect is as gentle as can be: the 151 Swizzle.
Chartreuse Swizzle
Let's start the weekend right--with a cocktail recipe from Paul Clarke of The Cocktail Chronicles. Need more than one? Hit up the archives. Cheers! In a recent diatribe against oppressive summer heat, I praised the class of crushed ice drinks...
Old Cuban
Branch out from a mojito with this bubbly, minty rum drink.
Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail
The Royal Bermuda Yacht Club Cocktail has a few of the tropical essentials: first, it's based on rum; second, its flavor is fleshed out with fresh lime juice and the little-known syrup called falernum; and third, the name has both Caribbean and nautical overtones.
Mojito
Good white rum, lime, and fresh mint: A classic mojito is a crisp and refreshing highball, not a sickly-sweet cliché.
Planter's Punch
Hold the sweet juices and the pineapple; a traditional Planter's Punch is a clean, icy drink of rum, lime, and bitters.
Barbados Cocktail
This rum cocktail is just a little boozy and just a little sweet, with fresh lime to keep it bright. Think of it as a little island escape.
The Wayland's Bermuda Black
If you drink a Dark 'n Stormy and think, "I'd like to turn this up a notch," this is the cocktail for you, courtesy of The Wayland in NYC. Fresh ginger juice adds heat, rum adds richness, and lime juice keeps it bright.

Queen's Park Swizzle

Several months ago I spoke with Forbidden Island owner Martin Cate for an article I was writing about ice and cocktails (the article is in the September/October issue of Imbibe). While talking about swizzles--a classic style of Caribbean drink made with well-packed crushed ice, hence a slow-sipper of a drink--Martin recommended the ancestral swizzle, a true tropical drink that launched countless imitators, called the Queen's Park Swizzle.
