Searching for a pineapple and rum cocktail recipe...

[2ndhandsunshine]

Did you have to puree the pineapple after cooking it? If so, I think this is similar to what you're looking for:
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 sprig rosemary
1/4 pineapple, cut into 1" chunks
Bring water, sugar and pineapple to a boil and stir until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat and simmer for -10 minutes or until pineapple is softened. Remove from heat; add rosemary and let steep until water is cool. Remove rosemary and process pineapple mixture in blender until smooth. Chill 1 hour.
To make cocktails, in a pitcher combine 2 cups rum with pineapple puree. Add 1-2 cups club soda and stir gently. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and pineapple chunks (optional).

The pineapple wasn't pureed--it was strained through cheesecloth so the resulting juice was fully liquid without any pulp--and the recipe was definitely for a cocktail because the rum wasn't optional. That aside though, I think these proportions are pretty close to what I remember. Thanks for the help!

This sounds so delicious. Totally going to attempt something of the kind in the future :D

It was! Sweet but not too sweet, and the note of rosemary was an interesting contrast. Very refreshing for a hot summer day (which is what it's starting to feel like here in NorCal). Best of luck in your experimentation!

Do you get Bon Appetit magazine? That sounds really familiar, and I think that is where I saw the recipe. Google.... Okay, what I saw the recipe for was a Pineapple-Mint Mojito, but the technique sounds the same. This: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipes/2013/05/pineapple-mint-mojito
