Kona Park Swizzle

A tropical twist on the Queen’s Park Swizzle, the 1920s classic from the Queen’s Park Hotel in Trinidad. Pineapple gum syrup replaces the usual sugar, and the bitters sit on top for that striking layered look.

How to Swizzle

Hold the swizzle stick upright in the glass with the prongs at the bottom, then spin the handle quickly between your palms while moving it up and down. Keep going until frost forms on the outside of the glass.

Swizzle it the traditional way with our Bois Lélé swizzle stick.
