Though pineapple and rum are the foundation for this aperitif, mint and lime juice temper the sweetness for a bright, clean sip. Ingredients:
32 ounces (1 quart) chilled pineapple juice (preferably from a carton) |
1 cup mint leaves |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice |
12 ounces (1 1/2 cups) gold rum |
garnish: mint sprigs; lime wedges |
Directions:
1. Blend one fourth of pineapple juice with all of mint and sugar in a blender until mint is finely chopped, then pour into a pitcher with lime juice and remaining pineapple juice. Chill until ready to use.
2. Just before serving, fill tall glasses halfway with ice and add 3 tablespoons rum to each, then top with 1/2 cup juice.
3. Cooks' note: Pineapple juice mixture can be chilled up to 4 hours.
