Piñata

Ingredients

• 1/2 pineapple, sliced
• 1 ounce fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup (loosely packed) fresh basil leaves plus 4 more leaves for garnish
• 8 ounces dark rum (Zacapa)
• 2 ounces Simple Syrup

Steps

1. Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Grill pineapple slices until juices start to caramelize and pineapple is lightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Cut 1 slice into quarters and set aside. Coarsely chop remaining pineapple.
2. Muddle chopped pineapple, lemon juice, and 1 cup basil in a large pitcher. Add rum and Simple Syrup and stir to combine. Strain into 4 Old Fashioned glasses filled with crushed ice. Garnish each with a basil leaf and reserved pineapple.
