Normally when I see fruit-flavoured rum, I run in the other direction. That is not the case here. A duo of home-infused rums back up Plantation’s quality pineapple expression in a symphony of fruity flavour that traverses the spectrum from bitter to sweet.

I have a passion for tiki classics and modern exotic cocktails, especially when I can infuse them with spirits and quality ingredients from the East Coast of Canada.

Combine all ingredients in a drink mixer cup. Blend for 5 seconds. Open pour into a double old-fashioned glass and top with more ice if necessary. Garnish with banana chips and a mint sprig.

Editor's Note

Three distinct rum infusions create a layered tropical profile. Grapefruit and lime balance the vanilla-forward sweetness, making this a sophisticated take on a blended tiki classic.
