Yesterday we had our Monthly Office Happy Hour at work. It's nice to work at a place where events like Happy Hour are valued and given a 4:00 time slot. I was in charge of bringing this month's cocktail and, still feeling like the new girl, wanted to make something that my co-workers would really like. It's been gray, dreary and rainy here in SF the last few weeks, so I thought a fun island drink like these Pineapple Rum Cocktails would lift our spirits.
I've made this drink a few times now and it's really yummy. Fruityfrom the pineapple, but not too sweet, and fresh tasting from the mint, I was daydreaming about steel drums and sandy beaches in no time. Now, I'm no bartender. Cocktail shakers scare me - I don't understand what they are supposed to do- so I love that this recipe calls for only a blender and very little measuring. Try it out with The Hub's Jamaican Jerk Chicken next time you need an island escape! You’ll Need:
