I gathered 16 bottles of original Lemon Hart 80°, yesterday, to add to the case I'd all ready socked away. (The 151° has not been available in Texas for many years, but may be coming, soon.) So, comfortable that I could loosen up a bit with my hoard, I celebrated with a (well, two, really) low-carb Queen's Park Swizzle:

Queen's Park Swizzle (low carb version, only 1½ grams carb):
Juice of ½ lime
½ ounce Monin Sugar Free Sweetener
Mint leaves
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 ounce Lemon Hart 80°
1 ounce dark Jamaican rum
1 ounce Cruzan or Puerto Rican 151° rum

Put several mint leaves, sweetener syrup, lime juice and bitters in a tall glass. Add some crushed ice, and mix/muddle a bit. Fill glass to top with crushed ice, add rum, and mix/agitate with a spoon, until glass frosts. Enjoy.

(If you have Lemon Hart 151°, use that and 80° Cruzan or Puerto Rican rum.)

"The rum's the thing..."
