Hey there! Do you remember your first rum swizzle? I sure do! I was out with friends, feeling festive, and someone suggested we order one. I had no idea what it was, but it sounded fun, so I went for it. And let me tell you, I’m so glad I did!
Rum swizzles are Bermuda’s national drink, and for good reason – they’re the perfect mix of sweet and strong and always get the party started. Just a friendly reminder, this drink is for adult consumption only.
The recipe for a rum swizzle is pretty simple: rum, fruit juices, and spices. The most popular rum to use is Gosling’s Black Seal. The drink was created in the 1920s by a bartender at the now-defunct Rum Swizzle Inn, and the recipe has been passed down through generations. Now, locals and visitors alike enjoy it!
So, if you’re looking for a rum swizzle recipe, you can find one here. Cheers!
Which Rum Is Best For Rum Swizzle?
When it comes to rum swizzles, we don’t mess around. That’s why we always use Goslings rum. This family-owned business has been crafting its signature rum for over 200 years in Bermuda, and it’s the perfect choice for making a truly authentic rum swizzle.
Goslings Black Seal rum is the key ingredient. It’s made with molasses and aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years. The blend of spices gives it a unique and delicious flavor that you won’t find in any other rum. Trust us, it’s worth going the extra mile and using Goslings for that perfect rum swizzle taste. Cheers!

The rum swizzle is a tantalizing blend of rum, fruit juices, and spices that will have your taste buds dancing. It’s sweet and strong, but beware – it’s not for the kiddos! But don’t worry. I’ve got the perfect recipe for you to try. It’s the very same recipe that’s served at the iconic Swizzle Inn. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 4 ounces of Gosling’s Black Seal Rum
- 4 ounces of Gosling’s Gold Seal Rum

- 5 ounces of pineapple juice
- 5 ounces of orange juice
- Juice from 2 lemons
- 2 ounces of Bermuda falernum or sugar syrup
- 6 dashes of Angostura bitters
Just mix all these ingredients together with ice, give it a good shake until it’s frothy, and pour it into some stemmed cocktail glasses. Cheers! Whether you’re sipping it poolside or enjoying it at one of Bermuda’s many rum shacks, raise a glass and toast to this national treasure. Sláinte!
What Else Can You Add To A Rum Swizzle?
When making the perfect rum swizzle, it’s hard to beat using Gosling’s rum as the base.
Trust me. I’ve tried every rum out there, and nothing compares. But be warned, those hangover stories from the night before can be just as legendary as the drink itself! One time, I had too much fun with the rum swizzles and woke up in my friend’s pool the next morning. It was quite the sight to behold.
That’s what happens when you let the rum swizzles get the best of you.
I’ve learned over the years that the pineapple and orange juice combo can be deceivingly strong. Before you know it, you’ve had a few too many. But if you’re looking to spice things up, a dash of nutmeg or cinnamon can add a nice kick.
And if you’re looking for a sweeter taste, Grenadine can be a great addition. But honestly, sometimes the classic rum, pineapple, and orange juice are all you need.
No matter how you like your rum swizzle, just remember to drink responsibly. Otherwise, you might end up nursing a fierce hangover on your holiday. Cheers!
