The Green Swizzle, a Caribbean cocktail with elusive history, blends various spirits and flavors, highlighting its diverse origins and modern interpretations by bartenders like Abe Vucekovich.
Cocktail historian David Wondrich suggests the Green Swizzle emerged concurrently in Trinidad, Grenada, and Barbados during the late 19th century, reflecting the era's tropical hotel bar culture.
At Nashville's Choy, bartender Abe Vucekovich reimagines the Green Swizzle with his drink 'It's Not Easy', which balances tradition with modern taste in unaged spirits.
Wormwood bitters, once a staple in the Green Swizzle, symbolize the cocktail's rich history and have largely faded from contemporary drink recipes.
