History

Adapted from a recipe in David Embury's 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks.

TROPICAL
1 part Lime Juice
4 parts Jamaica Rum
Crushed, sweetened Pineapple
1 dash Grenadine to each drink
Sprinkle a fair-sized slice of fresh pineapple with sugar and crush in a bar glass with a muddler or, better still, in a Waring Blender. Place the crushed pineapple with the other ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice and shake long and vigorously. The drink may be strained into a cocktail glass or may be poured, ice, pineapple shreds, and all, into a large wine glass, and served with straws.
David Embury, 1948

Review

A seriously tangy Daiquiri that's best made with a well-aged Jamaican rum that has a touch of funk.

I did double the grenadine for me since it was 1:1, but it was truly delicious. The Jamaican rum funk from the Appleton Estate Reserve (apparently a bit funkier than your current preference, the newer 8 Reserve), made the drink truly moreish. Easy 5 star for me.

This is a very tasty drink, but really requires very sweet grenadine, or it's almost too tart (and I like my drinks on the tart side).

Very good and pleasing cocktail.
