Tropical Frozen Lemonade with Pineapple Rum

Nothing beats the summer heat like a frozen cocktail. This spiked tropical lemonade is made with homemade infused pineapple rum and fresh fruit.

It’s been the quintessential summer so far — full of lazy, hot, sunny days.

In other words, it’s perfect weather for a frozen fruity cocktail.

And boy, do I have an amazing summertime thirst quencher for you to try.

You’ll swear you’re on a tropical island, instead of in your own backyard, when you take a sip of this tropical frozen lemonade spiked with homemade infused pineapple rum. It’s the perfect pairing for all those summer recipes from the grill.

A few months ago, I picked up a copy of the “Infuse” cookbook and a mason jar cocktail shaker. And I’ve been waiting for summer so I could mix up infused liquors, oils and waters using fresh fruits and vegetables.

While some infusions take a few weeks for the flavors to develop, the infused pineapple rum I made for this frozen cocktail is ready in a flash. We’re taking 5 to 10 minutes from infusion to pour!

To make the infusion, place 1/2 cup of chopped, fresh pineapple into a mason jar.

Cover with 14 ounces of rum, and muddle the fruit to release the juice and flavors.

Cap the mason jar and shake. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then strain the rum through cheesecloth to remove any fruit particles. Gather the strained pineapple in cheesecloth and squeeze over the rum to release all the fruit juice.

You’ll be left with a beautiful golden pineapple rum that will keep a few weeks in the refrigerator, or just enough for two pitchers of spiked mango-pineapple frozen lemonade.

I found everything I needed to make and serve these delicious summer cocktails at World Market.

In addition to the pineapple rum, you will need Ceres mango fruit juice, Farm to Market Maraschino cherries (available in World Market stores), and Urban Accents lemonade mix. I also used some frozen mango and pineapple.

To start, mix up a cup or a pitcher of Urban Accents lemonade, following the directions on the package. Either flavor, strawberry lemonade or mango lemonade will work. If you have another favorite lemonade, you can use that in this recipe, as well. The frozen cocktail uses only a little bit of the lemonade, so you can serve the rest to kids or those who don’t imbibe.

Now, comes the fun part!

This recipe makes four 10-ounce servings, or about 2 1/2 of these hurricane glasses! Depending on how boozy you want your drink, you can use between 1/2 cup and 1 cup of the infused pineapple rum.

Don’t forget the fruit garnish or the festive pineapple cocktail picks.

Cheers!
