I whipped this up during a break from cleaning the garage on a Saturday afternoon. I didn’t use the garnish at the time, but I think it’s a nice touch don’t you?
1/3 fresh pineapple, skinned & including core, cut into large cubes (500 g)
1-1/2 cups ice cubes (300 g)
3/4 cup rum
Agave to taste
Garnish:
Extra pineapple chunks without core (optional)
Mint leaves (optional)
1. Blend pineapple and ice cubes in a Vitamix or heavy duty bar blender. If using Vitamix blend on high for one minute.
2. Add rum and approximately 3 tablespoons agave nectar. Blend on medium for about 15 seconds.
3. Taste for sweetness. Add more agave if needed and reblend for a few seconds. Pour into small drink cups. I prefer plastic highball glasses for use on the deck.
4. Optional. Put two or three pineapple chunks on a toothpick and place on top of each glass. Add a small mint leaf for a nice final touch.
Salud!
