Perky Pineapple Sipper image

This delicious drink is inspired by the flavors of a 1960s cocktail, the Mr. Bali Hai, which usually requires simple syrup, pineapple juice, and three bottles of booze (two rums and a coffee liqueur). For a neat cheat, I coffee-washed a gold aged rum and made the simple syrup right in the shaker. Garnish with pineapple fronds and lime wedges.

Time 10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons ground coffee beans
½ cup gold rum
5 ounces pineapple juice
1 ¼ cups freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 cups crushed ice

Steps:

  • Combine sugar and water in a large cocktail shaker. Cover and shake until sugar dissolves.
  • Set a coffee filter in a sieve (or a pour-over coffee cone) set over a bowl or mug. Add coffee grounds and slowly pour a small amount of rum over grounds. Let stand about 1 minute to soak. Slowly pour remaining rum over grounds and let it drip through.
  • Add coffee-washed rum, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups crushed ice to cocktail shaker with sugar mixture. Cover and shake until well chilled. Pour unstrained into 2 collins or old-fashioned glasses. Top with remaining crushed ice.
