(Pineapple Punch) Though this was considered a frozen drink back in the '50s, it's nothing like the stiff, icy, machine-made variety you get today. Finely crushed ice is blended into the cocktail to give it some body; then the concoction is poured over more ice to give it the proper chill. If you want to stick with tradition, fill the glasses with cracked ice rather than regular cubes. To make cracked ice, simply wrap the cubes in a kitchen towel and lightly tap with a rolling pin. 1 1/4 hr (includes cooling syrup)
Ingredients:
1 cup cracked ice
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsweetened pineapple juice
2 ounces (1/4 cup) white rum
2 ounces (1/4 cup) vodka
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
garnish: fresh mint sprigs and 2 wooden or plastic skewers, each threaded with a pineapple wedge and a maraschino cherry
Directions:
1. Blend cracked ice in a blender until finely crushed, then blend in remaining ingredients. Pour into 2 (12-ounce) glasses halfway filled with ice..
