Notes
This recipe serves 6-8 people. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with more pineapple juice or tea. Adjust the simple syrup to taste depending on how sweet you like your drinks.
Make sure to use fresh lime juice for the best flavor. You can prepare the base mixture a day ahead and add the club soda just before serving.
For a fun twist, freeze pineapple chunks or edible flowers in the ice cubes. This adds extra flavor and makes for pretty presentation.
