- Step 1
Place mint leaves in a cocktail shaker with sugar cube, lime juice and syrup. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, gently bruise mint. Pour rum in, swirl shaker and pour contents into a 10- or 12-ounce tall glass. Add crushed iced until glass is three-quarters full, then add bitters.
- Step 2
Insert a genuine swizzle stick or a bar spoon into glass, stopping just above mint leaves, and hold its handle between your palms. Slide your hands back and forth against each other, gently spinning spoon or swizzle stick. Ideally, liquid and ice will swirl together while top layer of bitters and bottom layer of mint stay undisturbed. Top with more ice and garnish with a mint sprig.

This is not a Queen's Park Swizzle, the drink as originally made in Trinidad requires demerara rum and syrup. This is a Mojito with bitters.
Neal
Yes that’s right regarding Demerara Rum. The drink was served at the Queens Park Hotel and featured rum from nearby Guyana, not rum from Trinidad. The bitters of course are the famous local ingredient. I’ve not tried it with white rum. When I’ve made it with deep, complex rums from Demerara Distillers Limited like Hamilton 86 or El Dorado, the drink pops, and is distinct from a mojito bc of the rum, bracing bitters and lack of soda.

A swizzle defines the drink by how it was made not by the exact ingredients! That's like saying I can't put orange bitters in an old fashion!!
Sam
Why would a Trinidadian cocktail call for Guyanese rum? Try again.
Paul
Actually it’s a Hyde Park Swizzle
