miami nice

2 oz Plantation Pineapple Rum
1 1/4 oz Coconut Syrup (*)
3/4 oz Lime Juice

Shake with ice, strain into a small shaker tin (perhaps a Tiki mug, Collins glass, or double old fashioned would work well here), fill with crushed ice, garnish with a paper umbrella and a plastic mermaid, and add straws.
(*) Coconut syrup was made with dried shredded coconut steeped in coconut milk overnight, blended, strained, and cut 50:50 with simple syrup. In a pinch, 3/4 oz each of coconut milk and simple syrup would work well here.
For a drink at Firebrand Saints, Andrea asked for bartender Dave Erickson for the Miami Nice which turned out to be his drink. Once prepared, the Miami Nice did not offer much up in the aroma department but yielded a creamy coconut and lime sip. Next, the pineapple rum shined through on the swallow. Overall, simple but satisfying and delicious as a pineapple-coconut Daiquiri riff that reminded me a little of the Independent's Copacabana.
