I can't believe my blog is a year old!!! So crazy. We had an in person party at my house and it was amazing. All my food creator friends in the Bay Area came and celebrated with me. One of the drinks we had as a Pineapple Calamansi Rum cooler so we had to do a drink to remember the party by.
Ingredients for Pineapple Calamansi Rum Ice Cubes
Who else doesn't like diluted cocktails? I sure don't. So this Pineapple Calamansi Margarita is made with rum filled ice cubes. This is what you will need to make them.
Pineapple Juice - For sweetness and the taste of the tropics.
Calamansi Juice - Something sweet calls for something tart as well. If you have fresh please use that. Otherwise frozen packets from Manila Gold is the best replacement.
Rum - We like use Filipino Rum around here. Two that we recommend are Tanduay and Kasama Rum.
