Notes
- Only use white rum. You might be tempted to use spiced rum because you have it on hand. I promise you that is not a good idea. Spiced rum & White Rum are not the same.
- Fresh pineapple juice is the best here. Canned pineapple juice tastes like it’s been in a can. Something’s not right.
- Only a squeeze of lime: a whole tsp would be too much. Just give it a boop…little light squeeze.
- Use plenty of ice goes in the glass, fill it more than halfway.
Did you know? The origin of the word cocktail is disputed. The first recorded use of cocktail not referring to a horse is found in The Morning Post and Gazetteer in London, England, March 20, 1798
