For Frozen Version:

   • 2 oz white rum

   • 1 oz lime juice

   • ½ cup fresh pineapple chunks

   • ½–1 cup ice

2. Blend until smooth and pour into a chilled glass.

Pineapple’s sweet-acidic balance makes it a natural match for spicy, savory, or tropical dishes.

• Use fresh pineapple juice or chunks — the difference in flavor is huge.

• For a creamier texture, add ¼ oz coconut cream for a Piña-Daiquiri hybrid.

• Adjust simple syrup based on how sweet your pineapple is.

• Want it boozier? Float a splash of dark rum on top for a layered island vibe.

• Chill your glass before serving for extra refreshment.

The Daiquiri originated in Cuba as a minimalist mix of rum, lime, and sugar — and the Pineapple Daiquiri brings tropical flair to that formula. Whether served shaken or frozen, it’s a fruity crowd-pleaser found everywhere from tiki bars to luxury resorts.
