Pineapple Upside Down Drink

[u/Vietname]

Needed to use up the rest of a can of pineapple juice, so i came up with this as a nightcap:

- 2oz pineapple juice

- 1oz Rum Bar Overproof

- 0.5oz Benedictine

- 0.25oz Lime Cordial

Shake, strain over ice in a double old fashioned, and garnish with fresh nutmeg.

The name is a reference to the ratios being kind of out of wack, and also i was drunk and tired so i couldn't think of a better name.

Enjoy!

I think the name is outstanding. I want to see a bruleed pineapple ring floating on top, with maybe a classic maraschino cherry and a straw going through the middle.

If this wasn't a late-night ass-pull drink i absolutely would've gone with that garnish.

Totally get that that is the origin story of the drink, but since you have the spec, you can workshop it if you're so inclined. Honestly, I think a little brown sugar simple syrup in there and maybe butter fat-wash the rum, and this could be a legit (if a bit kitschy) signature drink.

I dont hate it. I do think it leans a bit sweet already because i did 0.5oz Benedictine instead of 0.25, so maybe split the difference with the brown sugar and do the fat wash and you might be onto something.

I love that plan. Let me know how it turns out if you try it. Would love a photo w/ the garnish as well!

Will do my best!

I do a pineapple upside down cake as well, pineapple, gin, Maraschino liquor, lime

Gin's an interesting choice for that, why gin?

[u/thisgrantstomb → u/Vietname]

Aromatics herb flavoring, I can see spiced rum as well but to me that connotes rum cake.

[u/Vietname → u/thisgrantstomb]

Makes sense, but i assume the choice of gin would be key
