Episode 28: Angostura 1919 rum

5 Minutes of Rum episode 28: Angostura 1919 rum,  The Drunken Botanist, Angostura bitters, and the 2070 Swizzle.

2070 Swizzle
1 oz Angostura 1919 rum
1 oz Lemon Hart 151 rum
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz honey mix
1/4 oz pimento dram
4 drops Pernod
2 dashes Angostura bitters

Combine all ingredients in the metal mixing cup of a spindle blender and add 1/2 cup crushed ice (last). Mix for 5 seconds and pour unstrained into a collins glass. Add more crushed ice to fill. As an alternate preparation, combine all ingredients directly into the collins glass filled with crushed ice. Swizzle by hand until blended, top off with more crushed ice, and continue to swizzle until the outside of the glass frosts over. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.
