Was disappointed. First of all, no colour change was observed (was yellow). Secondly, I just think I'm not a fan of Maraschino and what it did. I used homemade grenadine, but it normally gives off a satisfying pink. Any potential reason why it didn't work?

Homemade grenadine lacks the added colouring of commercial grenadines so always produces a much paler cocktail. While the colour may disappoint, the flavour of grenadine made with freshly pressed pomegranate is hard to beat.

Would've never thought the choice of rum mattered so much here. First made it with Bacardi Carta Blanca. Ok, but not quite right. Next tried it with Barcelo Gran Anejo. Better, but still not quite ideal. Huh... Damn, I guess I have to play with this. (15 Feb 2022, 11:40a)

A lovely looking cocktail that came out very well and tasted lovely as all rum and pineapple cocktails do
