Description

27-4 Corporate Relocation Issue
Entertaining the Bakersfield Way

One of my favorite party themes is a Mexican Fiesta...but with THE volume turned up. So Grab your sombrero and shuffle south to celebrate.

Ingredients

  • 2-3 lime wedges
  • 4-8 mint leaves, to taste
  • 2 tsp. brown sugar
  • 3 or 4 pineapple chunks
  • 2 ounces white or gold rum
  • Splash of pineapple juice

Methods/steps

  1. Muddle the lime wedges, mint leaves, sugar, and pineapple in the bottom of a highball glass with a wooden spoon or muddler.
  2. Don’t overdo it, though. The idea is to bruise the ingredients, releasing their flavors, not grind them up.
  3. Pour in the rum and pineapple juice.
  4. Fill with crushed ice. Mix thoroughly. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
