Imagine you’re on a tropical beach.
The experience is heavenly. There’s not a cloud in the sky, the temperature is a balmy 85 degrees, and you’re snoozing to the sound of the ocean waves in front of you.
You’re a little thirsty. You imagine a drink to pair with your current island motif: a piña colada, perhaps? No, that’s too heavy. You want something so easy drinking that you may even decide on having two.

Since you’re now a beach bum for the duration of your vacation, you opt for a Pineapple Basil Rum Bum.
This suits your fancy.

Pineapple Basil Rum Bum

2 oz. rum
1 oz. fresh pineapple juice
2 oz. tonic water
ice
fresh basil

Stir together the rum and pineapple juice. Add the tonic water and top with ice. Slap the basil between your fingertips to release the aromas and float atop.

Go ahead, have another.
