samson swizzle

1 oz Jamaican Rum like Rum Bar Gold (1/2 oz Monymusk Gold + 1/2 oz Smith & Cross)
1 oz Barbados Rum like Real McCoy 3 Year (Doorly's 12 Year)
3/4 oz Lime Juice
1/3 oz 2:1 Passion Fruit Syrup (3/8 oz 1:1)
1/3 oz 2:1 Cinnamon Syrup (3/8 oz 1:1)
8 leaf Mint
1 splash Sparkling Water (omit)

Tamp the mint leaves to the bottom of a Zombie glass, add the rest of the ingredients, and fill with crushed ice. Swizzle to mix and chill, top with crushed ice, and garnish with a float of Angostura Bitters (5 dash) and a mint bouquet. I later learned that the Zombie Village uses vanilla-infused Angostura Bitters in their float (not mentioned in the published recipe).After seeing a few references to a delightful sounding Swizzle on Instagram, I hunted down the recipe for the Samson Swizzle on Punch. The drink is Samson Miller's tropical riff on the Queen's Park Swizzle at The Zombie Village in San Francisco that swapped the Demerara rum for Jamaican and Barbados and more importantly exchanged the simple syrup for passion fruit and cinnamon syrups. Overall, it reminded me of the Kelimuto with mint and different rums not to mention in Swizzle form. Once prepared, the Samson Swizzle welcomed the senses with mint and clove aromas. Next, lime and caramel notes on the sip transformed into funky rums, passion fruit, cinnamon, and mint flavors on the swallow.
