Faced with the hypothetical of choosing one drink with which to be stranded on a desert island, Lynnette Marrero of The Llama Inn picks her Golden Ananás, a combination of fino sherry, aged rum, a “cheeky” measure of mezcal and that favorite tropical staple: pineapple. For maximum effect, she recommends making an extra-large batch to “enjoy while listening to the crashing waves.”
