A hybrid between a Daiquiri and a spritz, Alex Day’s Pins & Needles combines aromatic rhum agricole with sweet, flowery Lillet Rosé and old-school sweetener pineapple gum. (We recommend using Small Hand Foods‘ version.) Lime and Angostura bitters balance the drink with a tangy, bitter bite before getting topped with the requisite spritz of bubbly soda water.
