Ingredients
- 10leaves fresh mint
- ½ring of peeled pineapple cut ½-inch thick, core removed
- 2tablespoons (1 ounce) lime juice
- 1tablespoon (½ ounce) peach liqueur, preferably Leopold Brothers or Mathilde
- 1tablespoon honey syrup (see note)
- 2tablespoons (1 ounce) clear rum, more if necessary
- Pineapple juice, if necessary
Preparation
- Step 1
Combine all ingredients in a blender with about 1½ cups ice. Purée until smooth. If too thick, add a little pineapple juice or extra rum, to taste. It should look like a slushy mint pesto. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass or goblet, and serve with a straw snipped to rise 2 to 3 inches above rim of glass.
- To make honey syrup, combine equal measures of honey and water, and stir well.

was very pleased with this recipe . . .which I used more as a suggestion than as a rule . . .it isn’t a genoise cake . . .used mint and lemon basil . . Lots more than suggested, because I love herbs . . Six cubes of ice. . .pineapple . . Straight honey . . .golden rum . . . And since I didn’t want to buy special peach stuff, midori melon liqueur . . .Would definitely try it again. If you prefer tequila or gin or vodka . . I bet it would be great. I thought the lime juice really melded things
