Why you'll love this recipe
It's no secret I'm not a fan of pineapple. However, when Dan had this cocktail last week, he announced this definitely needed to be on the blog! And since he's my official taste tester.... this man knows what he's talking about.
This drink is perfect for a lazy afternoon, pool party or hot summer's day! Cheers, my friend!

Equipment
You will need a jigger to measure and a cocktail shaker. (In a pinch, I've used a mason jar with a screwtop lid.) You'll also want a tall highball glass and a sharp knife to slice the garnish.

FAQ's
It's not what you think! (At least, I thought this originated in Jamaica.) It actually originated in Newfoundland. Surprise, right?
Top Tip
Shake the cocktail really hard until the outside of the shaker is frosty and cold! Then pour it over the ice in the glass and garnish.
