What Ingredients do you need to make a Pineapple Fizz?
White Rum
All Rum is made from fermenting and then distilling sugar cane molasses or sugar cane juice, but White Rum has an ageing process that makes the liquor clear.
Rum is usually aged, and the container it’s aged in has a big say in its colour.
In bourbon or other wooden casks, the rum turns a dark brown colour, but in stainless steel tanks it stays colourless. Rum that’s been aged in wood can also be filtered to take the colour out.
White Rum is clear because it’s aged in stainless steel, or filtered after ageing.
Pretty cool, huh?
Pineapple Juice
Pineapple Juice is a great mixer for cocktails because it’s tasty and packs a big punch in the flavour department.
In cocktails, Pineapple Juice is often used in more exotic, summer cocktails to help set those pool-side vibes.
And it works great!

This can either be infused with the water artificially or occur naturally.
