The Pineapple Swizzle
Like many New Yorkers, we escape the steamy summer heat that envelopes the city by heading to the beaches of Long Island. Our favorite place to frequent? Montauk. This (formerly) sleepy fishing town is the perfect place to relax, catch a few rays and ride some waves.
After a long day at the beach, we're always itching for a cocktail—ideally something tropical. Enter The Pineapple Swizzle, a tasty rum-based cocktail featuring juicy pineapple, tangy lime and aromatic mint.
