St. John Frizell ofFort Defiancein Red Hook, Brooklyn, created this recipe for aFourth of July drinksfeature—this is the white option in a special red, white, and blue Sangria series. For this Caribbean-inspired pitcher drink, Frizell recommends using good white rum or, even better, a mix of white rum and aged rum. "A funky aged Jamaican rum, like Smith & Cross, will add a profound depth of flavor to the mix," he notes. For the wine, Frizell says to use a young unoaked white, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Riesling.
Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
In a large pitcher, combine 2 cups pineapple, white wine, simple syrup, and rum. Stir gently then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, add the coconut water, lime juice, lime slices, and sparkling water. Add the Maraschino liqueur, if using, then carefully fill the pitcher with ice and stir to combine. Garnish glasses with the remaining pineapple, if desired, or add the fruit to the pitcher.

Back to TopThis was very good. I followed the recipe exactly, using Sauvignon Blanc, Bacardi rum, and Mt Gay rum (I didn't add the optional Maraschino). I didn't take note of how many servings it would yield, so I was disappointed when it only made enough for 4 people to have one glass each. I'll double it next time.
