Bumps Along the Way: Mixed Drink Monday: Throwback Week 14

We are on week 13 of sharing prior drink recipes and I'm still not done. This isn't even the penultimate post! (That's next week.) I'm sure I am forgetting many of the pain points of doing this for however many summers I regularly did it but I am also impressed with my output of how many summers I consistently had a drink post up nearly every week. That was a lot of work. It is so much easier now to pop open a can without worrying about daylight for pictures and that would have been easier then too but I didn't have many (or any?) drinks I liked in cans...so I guess that's been a good discovery of the past ~5 years since I stopped doing every week!

Fizzy Pineapple Punch, published August 24, 2020

Ingredients
-½ large (46oz) can of pineapple juice
-½ can (6oz) frozen limeade concentrate
-1 liter Sprite/something similar
-splash of tequila (optional)
-ice
-salt for rimming (I'm always using my favorite toasted coconut salt)

(I did a good job on these pictures. That took more energy than I have now for this.)

Mucho Gusto, published August 20, 2018

Ingredients
For the pineapple infused tequila
-one bottle of tequila (but probably less, see note)
-one whole pineapple, cored and peeled

For the toasted coconut salt
-½ cup shredded coconut
-¼ cup sugar
-2 TB kosher salt

For the drink
Single serving
-toasted coconut salt
-ice
-1½ oz pineapple infused tequila
-1 oz coconut water
-1 oz lime juice (freshly squeezed is best but I won't tell if you used bottled)
-1 oz simple syrup

This is a drink I had never heard of before I started this project and it ended up being one of the ones I have made the most. I've kept toasted coconut salt as a staple in my summer cupboard every year since I discovered it.

(I'm also happy with these pictures.)
