Missionary's Downfall

Ingredients

• 10 leaves fresh mint
• 1/2 peeled pineapple ring, cut 1/2-inch thick, core removed
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon peach liqueur (preferably Leopold Brothers or Mathilde)
• 1 tablespoon honey syrup (see note)
• 2 tablespoons clear rum, more if necessary
• pineapple juice, if necessary

Directions

1. 1

   Combine all ingredients in a blender with about 1/1/2 cups ice. Puree until smooth. If too thick, add a little pineapple juice or extra rum, to taste. It should look like a slushy minto pesto. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass or goblet, and serve with a straw snipped to rise 2-3 inches above rim of glass.

2. 2

   Note: To make honey syrup, combine equal measures of honey and water, and stir well.
