PINEAPPLE CINNAMON MOJITO
This is a cocktail I’ve been dying to try from my Sailor Jerry recipe book and now that I have, I don’t think I’ll drink a mojito any other way! It’s an unexpected yet wonderful combination of flavors that make you think of relaxing on a tropical beach and curling up in front of a fireplace on a cold winter day all in one! The original recipe calls for a cinnamon foam which is prepared in a whipped cream siphon with egg whites, apple juice, cinnamon, sugar, and house bitters, but I made it a bit simpler by using French vanilla whipped cream and adding cinnamon to the cocktail. You can get fancy or take the quick route, but either way this is a must-make cocktail!
