Clarified Pineapple Daiquiri

Kern Rodriguez | Brooklyn, New York

This take on the tropical staple from Sunken Harbor Club’s Kern Rodriguez puts a silky spin on the typically shaken drink thanks to the milk punch treatment, which comes courtesy of a blend of whole milk yogurt and kefir yogurt. Acid-adjusted pineapple juice, meanwhile, makes the whole drink pop.
