With its understated, background fruit notes, Plantation Pineapple Rum Stiggins' Fancy can easily be used in a wide variety of classic cocktail recipes without upsetting the drink's balance. It makes a good old-fashioned, rum sour or El Presidente. The Pineapple Express, created by Freddie Sarkis of the Broken Shaker in Chicago, is simply a daiquiri with a split of pineapple rum and rhum agricole doing the work usually done by a white rum. The combination adds more richness and character to the drink, though you may not notice the pineapple until the second or third sip. That's a testimony to the subtlety of the cocktail.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was so tender and juicy, and the pineapple added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less pineapple next time.
