Summer time for me offers a freedom in slowing down, taking the time to dabble a bit in mixology, and enjoy some new and refreshing creations. This spicy pineapple and coconut rum cocktail is a concoction of my own after experimenting with some of my favorite things I’d like in a cocktail. This cocktail makes for a good party cocktail if your friends and family are into spicy drinks. It is moreso recently that I have truly come to love spicy drinks.
