The Back Porch Swizzle cocktail is one of the most popular cocktails around the holidays. It's the perfect drink to sip while sitting on a back porch, enjoying the cool breeze. The popularity of this drink over time seems to be why bartenders now know it as a Back Porch Swizzle instead of by its original name, which was "Swizzler".
It is a classic cocktail that has been around for generations, but its origins are unknown. It is said that the recipe was found in an old cookbook. The drink has become popular during the holidays because of its easy-to-make ingredients and delicious taste. It is a unique process combining ingredients and equipment to make an ice-cold cocktail.
