Heatwave

A quick and easy summer cocktail to make is appropriately called the HEATWAVE. It’s also delicious, similar to a rum punch but with peach/pineapple flavoring instead of orange/pineapple flavoring. It cuts right to the chase by using a fuller-flavored dark rum instead of white rum. It doesn’t require squeezing lime or lemon, which is a big plus for me.

Requirements: Dark rum (Myers’s or Goslings Black Seal preferred), peach schnapps, grenadine, pineapple juice

• 1 oz. dark rum
• 1/2 oz. peach schnapps
• 1/4 oz. grenadine
• 3-4 oz. pineapple juice

Fill a highball or old-fashioned glass with ice. Pour in the rum, peach schnapps and grenadine. Fill the glass almost to the top with 3-4 oz. of pineapple juice and stir.

Comment: The recipes I’ve seen say to pour about 5 ounces pineapple juice, or simply fill to the top of the glass with pineapple juice. I like 3 ounces of juice and no more. If I have that much more glass to fill, I’d prefer pouring the difference with more ice … or more dark rum. Cheers!
