Made it as written here. We really enjoyed it - sweet, thick, and rummy. Thanks for transcribing!

I really enjoyed this as written. To be fair, I like most tiki drinks, but this one in particular is not too sweet or too boozy. The lemon is fairly pronounced (which is a nice change, as it's so often a supporting player) and the lemon-pineapple pairing is very pleasant.

I was very pleased to discover I had the exact ingredients for this, and even more pleased when I tried it. It's very sweet (my cranberry juice may be at fault), but the fruit is a nice complement to the sweetness and it really is quite Christmasy. Overall a very nice drink.

Different from the typical. The main impact is pleasantly fruity. The Pinot Noir really makes itself known, giving the drink a tannic backbone. The flavors on this are quite intense, and could perhaps use a bit of dilution, or at least to be served very cold in small quantities; probably not one I'll come back to, but I'm glad I tried it.
