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.

Steps:
- Combine the pineapple rum, rhum agricole, lime juice and simple syrup in a cocktail shaker three-quarters filled with ice. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe glass. Squeeze grapefruit twist over drink and discard.
- Note: To make simple syrup, warm 1 cup sugar in 1 cup water in a saucepan over low heat until dissolved. Cool to room temperature before using. (There will be extra syrup; refrigerate if not using immediately.)
