Keep it simple and light with this play on the Daiquiri, where the dial is turned all the way up with the addition of black tea and dried citrus.
Pineapple syrup is one of my personal favorites, which I frequently use in place of simple syrup to give any cocktail an extra tropical gloss. Because of the volume of the fruit, I usually start with a double batch of simple syrup—2 cups each of sugar and water. Cut a ripe pineapple in half and half again lengthwise; then peel, core, and cube one quarter. You should have about 2 cups chopped pineapple. In an airtight glass or nonporous, nonreactive container, combine simple syrup and pineapple, cover, and let steep in the refrigerator for 48 hours, then strain and discard solids. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
