Blake Swizzle at Bobby Fitzpatrick
The characterful and unapologetically retro bar Bobby Fitzpatrick’s in West Hampstead has rum and cocktails at its core alongside playful pizza offerings. The drinks list features an extensive selection of white, golden and dark rums inspired by Bobby’s travels in The Caribbean. The Blake Swizzle will whisk you back to the summer of love as it delicately balances chilli-spiced rum with triple sec, lime, sugar and sweet vanilla.
