Anton Kinloch’s Pineapple Daiquiri

Anton Kinloch | New Paltz, New York

One of the winning recipes from our blind Pineapple Daiquiri tasting, Anton Kinloch’s take splits the base between unaged cachaça and Plantation’s Fancy Smoky Formula bottling of the pineapple rum. Fresh pineapple flavor is added via pineapple cubes thrown directly into the shaking tin. The finished drink has the requisite zip of acidity balanced by the right amount of sweetness. The ingredients come together in a way that recalls savory apple cider, leading one taster to describe it as “the perfect fall Daiquiri.”
