Cocktail of the Week: Diddy in Paradise

Diddy in Paradise

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz Skyy Infusions Pineapple

1/2 oz Aperol Aperitivo

3/4 oz lime juice

1 1/2 oz pineapple juice

Cruzan 151 rum

Pineapple and lime slices

Sprig of mint for garnish

Method

Combine all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Cover and shake thoroughly. Strain into a tiki glass over ice. Garnish with fruit and mint, and top with a Cruzan 151 rum float. Light the 151 on fire and extinguish before consuming.

Let’s face it: Drinks that are on fire are inarguably cooler than drinks that are not, and this one is particularly impressive. Tropical, eccentric and literally ablaze, the Diddy in Paradise is every bit as much a party trick as it is a decadent cocktail.
