Pineapple Rum Daiquiri
We love the simplicity of a classic daiquiri, where rum, lime juice and sugar come together in the perfect ratio for a refreshing, no-frills cocktail. When it's done right, however, we're all for a tropical twist, like this version from Houston's Tongue-Cut Sparrow. Bartender Bobby Heugel mixes pineapple-infused rum and maraschino liqueur for a daiquiri we welcome with open arms.
This cocktail is all about making an impression with the garnishes, from the pineapple leaf-wrapped cherry to the orange twist. If you want to keep that beautiful corkscrew on your orange twist, wrap it around a straw. Then pop it in the freezer while you make the cocktail, and it will stay tightly wrapped when you're ready to serve.
