Preparation

Step 1

Put all liquid ingredients in cocktail shaker.

Fill two high ball glasses with shaved ice.

Shake cocktail shaker thoroughly, at least ten times.

Strain into two glasses.

Crush the mint leaves between your fingers and float on the top of the drink. It is important to really bruise the mint leaves, because they blend the flavors together. You should NOT skip the fresh mint – it is the key to the whole drink.

Garnish with pineapple and lime wedges
