THE TWENTY SEVENTY SWIZZLE crafted by Ma Hu and featuring the mighty Lemon Hart 151 💥
"Tonight’s drink was another visit to Smuggler's Cove with Martin Cate’s Twenty Seventy Swizzle.
The Twenty Seventy Swizzle is a great example of how much character can come from a seemingly simple recipe. Demerara syrup, honey syrup, and allspice dram create a rich, spicy foundation, while fresh lime juice provides brightness and balance.
For the rum blend, I used Havana Club Selección de Maestros and Lemon Hart 151. The Havana contributes notes of vanilla, oak, and dried fruit, while the Lemon Hart brings bold Demerara character and the extra punch that gives the drink its backbone. A dash Ice-cold, deeply aromatic, spicy, and surprisingly well balanced, this is an outstanding example of the Swizzle style.
