One day I ordered a PC and the waiter put it down in front of my wife. "That's for me" I said, and I saw a flicker of disappointment flash over his face.
After that, I had lots of rum sat at the bar to try to redeem my reputation.
I really enjoyed this easy cocktail. We bought a whole pineapple for 98p from Lidl and this one was an easy to make winner in the Nutribullet.
