Notes
Substitutes:
Sometimes, I like to experiment with the ingredients to change the drink's profile or just use what I have on hand. For the rum, I can use a blend of different rums to play around with flavors and aromas. And if I'm out of Angostura bitters, I'll sometimes use orange bitters for a sweeter citrus note.Making a Pitcher of Rum Swizzle:
- Scale: For a get-together, I often multiply the recipe by 8 for a larger batch. That's 16 oz of dark rum, 8 oz of lime juice, 8 oz of pineapple juice, 8 oz of orange juice, and a few dashes of Angostura bitters.
- Mix: I combine all these in a pitcher and stir thoroughly, then refrigerate it for an hour before guests arrive.
- Serve: I serve it in individual glasses filled with ice, garnished with pineapple slices and cherries.
