This swizzle stick is topped with a large pink flamingo rendered in an oversized cutout lettering style — the lettering itself forms the silhouette of the design, extending outward beyond the width of the thin, rounded stem. These were originally issued in sets of four with a cardboard backer card featuring Captain Morgan himself and mixing instructions for the Miami Spice cocktail.

A rare find for the swizzle stick collector, the tiki and tropical barware enthusiast, or anyone drawn to 1980s Miami style.  

Captain Morgan issued these flamingo-topped swizzle sticks as promotional merchandise for the Miami Spice, a rum cocktail marketed with a tropical, sun-drenched aesthetic that likely traded on the era's Miami Vice-fueled fascination with South Florida style. Distributed in packages of four with an illustrated cardboard backer card, these were meant to be a fun, disposable bit of bar culture — which makes surviving, unused examples like this one a genuine find today.
