A fresh pineapple-ginger granita gives this rum drink its slushy texture; the granita is also delicious on its own as a dessert.

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS

With its understated, background fruit notes, Plantation Pineapple Rum Stiggins' Fancy can easily be used in a wide variety of classic cocktail recipes without upsetting the drink's balance. It makes a good old-fashioned, rum sour or El Presidente. The Pineapple Express, created by Freddie Sarkis of the Broken Shaker in Chicago, is simply a daiquiri with a split of pineapple rum and rhum agricole doing the work usually done by a white rum. The combination adds more richness and character to the drink, though you may not notice the pineapple until the second or third sip. That's a testimony to the subtlety of the cocktail.
