susie q

1 1/2 oz Suze
1 oz Ten to One White Rum
3/4 oz Lemon Juice
1/4 oz Hamilton's Allspice Dram
1/4 oz Orgeat
1/4 oz Passion Fruit Syrup (1:1 passion fruit puree to simple syrup)

Build in a Collins glass, add crushed ice, swizzle to mix and chill, and garnish with a float of 1/4 oz Green Chartreuse.Two Tuesdays ago, I was invited to attend an Suze liqueur educational event at Backbar, and for drink options, there were four choices that fell into theme with their current Mix Tape menu. The one I selected was the Suzie Q by Iruma Shibuya named after the Creedence Clearwater Revival song and only overlapped with Trina's Starlite Lounge's Suze-E-Q with the Suze and lemon juice. This Suzie Q reminded me of the Saturn with the lemon, orgeat, passion fruit components as well as the Sinnerman (and my Sinnerman Swizzle inspired by it) with the Suze and allspice dram ingredients. In the glass, this Swizzle showcased an herbaceous aroma from the Green Chartreuse float. Next, a lemon and slightly creamy sip gave way to rum, passion fruit, and earthy herbal swallow with an allspice finish.
