It’s Tiki Month<\/A> over at The Pegu Blog<\/A>, which seems to have been taken over by Iago and Zazu<\/A>, who were recently unceremoniously chased out of Disney World’s Enchanted Tiki Room.<\/a><\/p>\n

In honor of the Midwest’s frigid February, Ohio-based blogger Doug Winship<\/A> is pulling out all the stops with an onslaught of exotic drink recipes and features on anything and everything in today’s wacky world of Tiki. So great is this tidal wave of rum-soaked madness, it’s taken over the Feb. 20 edition of Mixology Monday<\/A>, the (sometimes) monthly online cocktail party that rounds up bloggers to post in harmony on a single theme. <\/p>\n

All of this did not go unnoticed at The Atomic Grog. We’re joining today’s party with a few tips on how to turn that most Tiki of all fruits into a viable drinking vessel. And, of course, we’re including a few recipes<\/A> for the perfect drinks to fill the void. Now, pass that pineapple!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Step 1: Assemble your tools<\/B><\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

Unlike the daunting coconut, which requires a machete and steel nerves to chop open and fashion into a Tiki drink, the pineapple is quite simple and will not put you at risk of losing a limb. It’s easy to find a cheap pineapple slicer<\/A> that removes the core and retains the juice in the pineapple, keeping the shell intact. The only other tools required are a cutting board, and paring and chef’s knives.<\/p>\n

Step 2: Behead the pineapple<\/B><\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

Slice off the stem, plus an inch or two of the top of the fruit, with the chef’s knife. This will become a fancy removable top for the drink.<\/p>\n

Step 3: Minor surgery on the top <\/B><\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

Use the paring knife to cut a small “V” on the lip of the pineapple top for a straw to fit.<\/p>\n

Step 4: Remove the guts<\/B><\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

Follow the instructions on the pineapple slicer to remove the core. It usually requires a screw-like device that you simply twist until it digs deep into the core, then pull straight out to remove the rings of fruit.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Clean out the core<\/B><\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

Use the paring knife to remove any fruit the slicer leaves behind. Typically there will be a round center piece. You can also salvage the juice, a surprisingly small amount (around 3 ounces).<\/p>\n

Step 6: Voila, one pineapple drinking vessel<\/B><\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nStep 7: Now we drink<\/B><\/p>\n

My favorite Tiki cocktails served in pineapples are available at two iconic Florida bars. The Pina Passion at The Mai-Kai<\/A> in Fort Lauderdale and the Lapu Lapu at the Tambu Lounge<\/A> in Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Resort will both be explored in depth in future features on this blog. For the purposes of this exercise, we turn to our vast library of Tiki cocktail tomes<\/a> from Jeff “Beachbum” Berry.<\/p>\n

Berry’s dogged research uncovered such mid-century classics as the Boo Loo (Grog Log<\/I> and Remixed<\/I>), Pina Paradise (Sippin’ Safari<\/I>), and Pi-Yi (Intoxica<\/I>). But our favorite might be this simple ditty from Intoxica<\/I> …<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/p>\n

PINEAPPLE PARADISE<\/B>
\n(From the Hawaiian Room in the Hotel Lexington, New York City)<\/I><\/p>\n

* 4 ounces unsweetened pineapple juice
\n* 1 ounce fresh lime juice
\n* 1 ounce peach brandy
\n* 1 1\/2 ounces Demerara rum
\n* 1 ounce light Puerto Rican rum
\n* 1 teaspoon sugar<\/p>\n

Dissolve sugar in lime juice, then shake everything with a scoop of crushed ice. Pour into a hollowed-out pineapple. Add ice cubes to fill.<\/p>\n

Also highly recommended is this little-known Don the Beachcomber gem, which you can find in Hawai’i – Tropical Rum Drinks & Cuisine<\/a><\/I>, the lavishly illustrated book penned by the Tiki cocktail pioneer Donn Beach’s widow, Phoebe …<\/p>\n

PINEAPPLE SURPRISE<\/B><\/p>\n

* 1 1\/4 ounces Appleton Special gold Jamaican rum
\n* 1\/2 ounce Lemon Hart 151 Demerara rum
\n* 1\/4 ounce Southern Comfort
\n* 1\/4 ounce triple sec
\n* 2 ounces fresh pineapple juice
\n* 1 teaspoon sugar
\n* 3 chunks fresh pineapple
\n* 1\/2 ounce fresh lime juice<\/p>\n

Pour into a blender with 1 cup shaved ice. Blend to a creamy texture and pour into a scooped-out pineapple and serve with straws.<\/p>\n

One caveat on these cocktails, which pose a danger beyond the healthy dose of rums and liquors: If you don’t have access to extra long straws, beware the pointy spikes on the top. It may look cool, but it’s not worth losing an eye. Just take the safe route and remove the top before imbibing. We sure don’t want to encourage any casualties with nine more days of Tiki Month still to come.<\/p>\n

Jim's roots in mid-century and retro culture go back to his childhood in the 1960s, when he tagged along with his parents to Tiki restaurants and his father's custom car shows. His experience in newspaper journalism and more than 20 years as an independent concert promoter have given him a front-row seat in the South Florida scene since the 1970s. He promoted hundreds of rock, punk, and indie concerts under the Slammie Productions banner since the early 1990s. A graduate of the University of Florida's College of Journalism and Communications in 1983, Jim was a longtime editor and web producer for The Palm Beach Post before his retirement in 2022. He earned his nickname by virtue of both his dangerous exotic drinks and his longtime position overseeing tropical weather coverage in his stormy home state. Jim now spends his time mixing cocktails, attending events and writing stories for this blog, which launched in 2011. The Atomic Grog extensively covers events, music, art, cocktails, and culture with a retro slant.","sameAs":["https:\/\/theatomicgrog.com","http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/atomicgrog","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theatomicgrog\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/atomicgrog\/","https:\/\/x.com\/theatomicgrog","https:\/\/youtube.com\/@atomicgrog"],"url":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/author\/hurricanehayward\/"}]}},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1xHjT-JT","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2845","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2845"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2845\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2845"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2845"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slammie.com\/atomicgrog\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2845"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
