About
The Green Swizzle is a legendary tiki cocktail of remarkable complexity — a tall, vividly green drink that layers light rum, overproof rum, absinthe, falernum, crème de menthe, and lime juice over a mountain of crushed ice. Its robust combination of flavors resolves into something strangely harmonious and deeply refreshing, worthy of the drink's status as a tropical classic.
Ingredients
1.5 oz Light Rum
0.75 oz Lime Juice
0.5 oz Overproof Rum
0.5 oz Absinthe
0.5 oz Falernum
0.5 oz Creme de Menthe
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a tall glass or Collins glass.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice.
- Insert a swizzle stick and swizzle vigorously between the palms until the outside of the glass frosts.
- Top with more crushed ice if needed.
- Garnish with a mint bouquet and a lime wheel.
