Pineapple Daiquiri

Pineapple Daiquiri

This riff on a classic Daiquiri calls for the refreshing tangy pineapple juice infused with the essence of cloves.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz rum
1/2 oz simple syrup
3/4 oz lime juice
3/4 oz pineapple juice
1 pinch of salt (five grains of rock salt)
1 pineapple wedge, for garnish
5 cloves

Directions:
Chill a daiquiri glass.  Combine all ingredients (except garnish) in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake for 45 seconds.  Strain into chilled glass.  Garnish with a clove-studded pineapple wedge.  Makes 1 cocktail

Tequila Colada

Tequila Colada 

Thanks to pineapple-coconut sorbet, it’s never been easier to make a perfect Pina Colada. This twist on the poolside classic is made with tequila, which gives it a slightly lighter and fresher flavour profile than most traditional recipes.

Ingredients:
1 oz heavy cream
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
1 1/2 oz Herradura Silver Tequila, or any good blanco
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) pineapple-coconut sorbet
Pineapple wedge and leaf to garnish

Directions:
Blend all ingredients together (except pineapple garnishes) on medium for about 20 seconds until consistency is smooth and even. Pour into a tall glass and garnish with pineapple wedge and leaf. Makes 1 drink
