Brad and Jules have a case of the giggles and wander through the Queens Park Swizzle, the Queens Park Hotel, and why not some fun facts about Trinidad(?). In part 4, we answer another listener question from @emilyy_oc, “Can you talk about which size of ice cubes to use when: stirring, shaking, and serving?” We may be asking a lot of you, our listeners in this episode. We hope you don’t unsubscribe after listening. Queens Park Swizzle recipe: FIRST!!! Take 10 mint leaves into the palm of your hand, CLAP, gently roll and add to your Collins glass. While they are in the glass, use your barspoon or swizzle stick to rub the leaves around the inside of the glass. Then add in: 2oz Demerara rum 1oz Freshly squeezed lime juice 3/4oz Simple syrup 2 dashes of Angostura bitters Grab your Lewis bag and mallet and fill the bag with ice HAMMER that ice to crushed bits Making sure your swizzle stick (or bar spoon) is in the glass, fill your glass halfway with crushed ice Swizzle with your swizzle stick or bar spoon until the outside of the glass becomes frosted. “How do I swizzle?” you ask? Place the stem of the stick / spoon between your palms and rub back and forth. DON’T chop the ice up into bits. Make sure you are swizzling above the leaves. Be sure to push any leaves that may have strayed up towards the top back down. Fill the glass with more ice, until mounded on top Add more angostura bitters, soaking the top. You should have a nice 3 layered drink; green, gold, and a ice dark reddish brown at the top. Garnish with a few mint sprigs, slap ‘em around first and fluff them up before planting in your ice.
