3.65 / 5
The Slow Swirl is a tantalizing cocktail that marries the zesty freshness of citrus with the deep, rich notes of dark rum and amaretto. Its well-rounded flavor is further enhanced by the fruity sharpness of apricot brandy and the sweet, berry-like undertones provided by crème de cassis. Served in a hurricane glass, this cocktail showcases an inviting blend of sweet, sour, and bitter tastes, making it a complex and enjoyable drink for those who appreciate a symphony of flavors in their beverage. The inclusion of both orange and lemon juices gives the Slow Swirl a refreshing edge, perfect for sipping on a leisurely evening or at a sophisticated gathering.
