Swizzle
Jen Reyes at Swizzle says customers are making trips to their restaurant just to have it, “Whether their first experience of this pineapple treat was at Disneyland, in Hawaii or even at our own Texas State Fair, it’s a staple in tiki culture.
Reyes says they keep their machine churning all day to keep up with the demand. If they grew up eating it, they get excited to see it on the menu. They eat for appetizers, dinner and dessert or drink it as a cocktail with rum,” she says.
Swizzle offers a straight cup ($8), a float made with pineapple juice ($10) or they ll add a shot of Don Q Reserva 7 ($13). Same at 4 Kahunas; you can get it straight or with a shot of dark rum poured over.

Dallas Morning News interview on April 23 that he “will explore changing it.”
The issue was brought to light after Vietnamese-American woman Melody Vo wrote in a Yelp review in mid-April 2021 that Toasted’s Vietnamese coffee is made by blending cold brew and condensed milk. She says traditional Vietnamese coffee, or cà phê sua dá, is made by pouring brewed coffee through a phin which she describes as “kind of like a French press” into a cup that has condensed milk in it.
This Saturday, April 24, the Lowest Greenville Collective is shining a light on the diverse restaurants, bars and businesses along their namesake street from Belmont Avenue to Ross Avenue. The fourth annual
Experience Lowest Greenvillewill offer a variety of food and drink specials, yoga, flowers, lots of mimosas and general hoopla, like super karaoke.
The Lowest Greenville Collective was created in 2014 for the 70-plus businesses in the area. With this event, they’re hoping to bring a little bustle to the area after a challenging 13 months.
One of the restaurants involved is a new kid on the block, the tiki bar Swizzle. It opened earlier this year when capacity restrictions were in place, a particularly challenging way to start a business. Since then, they’ve shaken their way into our bellies with rum drinks, a full mahalo experience and Dole Whip mimosas (pineapple soft serve and Champagne).
