Hints

  1. You can make this drink in a blender, which will dilute the cocktail slightly more (which might be exactly what you want on a hot day).

  2. Use fresh pineapple juice, if possible. It will make a huge difference in terms of flavor. Making it is fairly easy and you can make it a day or two in advance.

  3. Harry Yee was one of the first (if not the first) bartender to use cocktail umbrellas and orchids as garnishes for his drinks.
