New Year's Eve Drink with Rum and Pineapple Juice

Begin your day with a refreshing, tangy, and nutrient-packed juice. This Green Detox Juice is an excellent way to cleanse your body, improve energy levels, and promote weight management, all while boasting a delightful taste. It is the ultimate green drink that is easy to make and naturally sweetened.

The Mai Tai is a sweet-and-sour cocktail with fruit flavors balancing aged rum. All agree that “Trader Vic” Bergeron mixed the first Mai Tai in 1944 at his bar in Emeryville, California, just outside of San Francisco. Naysayers need only heed the words of Trader Vic’s bartenders’ guide of 1947: “Anybody who says I didn’t create this drink is a dirty stinker.” Trader Vic had visited the South Seas, returning with all of the venerable accouterments now standard in a tiki lounge.

This fun and easy drink is always a crowd-pleaser!

Champagne and club soda lighten up this deep-red punch made with claret wine, brandy, and dark rum. Fresh orange and pineapple slices add a hint of citrus and bright color. What to buy: Wines labeled “claret” are red wines that contain a blend of Bordeaux grapes. You can find them in most well-stocked wine shops or online.

Beat the heat and sit back with this refreshing, tropical Hawaiian cocktail, blended with a mix of pineapple, coconut, and rum. It's a little slice of paradise in a glass, transporting you straight to a Polynesian beach.

Inspired by the idea of making a camping cocktail, we thought it’d be novel to use a little pine liqueur to bring the taste of the great outdoors to the canteen. We found the punchy, herbal liqueur a little tricky to mix with, but ultimately we were able to balance it out with some dark rum and a little pineapple juice. This recipe is scaled to fit into a canteen, and serves four.

This is Richard Boccato and Giuseppe Gonzalez’s take on a classic tiki cocktail, and is the namesake for their neo-tiki bar Painkiller in New York City.

This refreshing and creamy Pineapple Mango Smoothie is a favourite in my household, especially during summertime. Its tropical flavour transports you to the beach with every sip, and the nutritional benefits of raw fruits are a bonus. It's non-dairy and vegan-friendly, perfect for anyone in search of a healthy treat. The slight hint of ginger adds a twist to the traditional tropical smoothie recipe.
