Swizzle Sticks

Fran Krause spent an afternoon at my apartment painting a mural on the nursery wall... I drew swizzle sticks that remind me a little of Ed Emberly's drawing books. Remember those?

The term swizzle stick was coined in 1933 after a drink called the Rum Swizzle. Here's the Food Network recipe for how to make one:

Ingredients
4 ounces dark rum
4 ounces amber rum
2 ounces triple sec
2 lemons, juiced
5 ounces pineapple juice
5 ounces orange juice
2 ounces simple syrup
4 dashes bitters
cracked ice

Directions
Add all ingredients to a pitcher with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until it froths. Strain into cocktail glasses and serve.
