I'm happy to report that by all accounts at The Hukilau (including Mr. Berry), the 151 Swizzle continues to follow the v.4 recipe. And they're back to using the cinnamon stick garnish. I'd also highly recommend the new Swizzle cups: http://www.cocktailkingdom.com/tiki/swizzle-cup I noticed on the blog that it doesn't call for a sprinkle of nutmeg on top, something I've always just assumed was a part of a 151 Swizzle. Was this an oversight or is the Mai Kai not doing that? I honestly can't remember even though I had a bunch of em in April.
