A bracing, herbaceous riff on the swizzle format, the Swizzled Monk balances funky Jamaican rum against an assertive backbone of alpine liqueur and bitter digestif. The falernum and citrus provide tropical lift, but the drink leans decidedly savory, with menthol and bitter herb notes cutting through the sweetness. It drinks cool and refreshing despite its complexity, the crushed ice tempering what would otherwise be a rather intense combination.
