No one really knows when the Queen's Park Swizzle was invented, but by the 1920's they were being served daily at the Queen's Park Hotel in Trinidad. An escape for the elite traveling in the Caribbean, the hotel hosted famous names from around the world, and the word of the Queen's Park Swizzle spread. Trader Joe famously included the recipe in his book "Trader Vic's Book of Food & Drink" after a stay at the Queen's Park Hotel, calling it “the most delightful form of anesthesia given out today.".

Raymond Edwards, Chief Brand Educator for the House of Angostura, has brought the iconic drink back into the forefront. A decorated mixologist, winning multiple awards and competitions across the Caribbean, Raymond wanted to bring back the authentically Trinidadian drink. "The Queen's Park Swizzle's history is intertwined with Trinidad, just like Angostura's. It is something that is authentically us."

A refreshing drink, perfect for cooling down under the Trinidadian sun. Angostura 7 year rum fits into the Queen's Park Swizzle perfectly. The sweet flavors of caramel and chocolate perfectly balance the bool refreshing mint used in the recipe. Every sip takes transports you to the Island of Trinidad and lets you indulge in its rich history.
