A Pineapple Daiquiri with apricot and almond shaken with coffee beans. With good ice and a brisk shake, you'll be surprised how much the coffee beans are...
Well, this was interesting. At first I felt it needed a more assertive rum (I used Carta Blanca 80°).Some how the coffee seemed detached from the fruity flavors. It only got better as it warmed. Wifts of lime, creamy pineapple coffee imbued froth froth in an extra-dimensional almond apricot complex. Really quite good! Still want to try this with a higher abv rum.
Wow - this genuinely something different. A grown up tiki cocktail. The coffee is the star ingredient adding sophistication. I used a monsoon malabar beans which have a spiced cocoa aroma with little bitterness. It would be interesting to try the effect of different coffee beans.
The smell of coffee is already present in the shaker - the cocktail is a sublime coffee-laced perfectly balanced pineapple daiquiri.
Love the complexity. Do try this!
