History
The Pineapple Daiquiri (on-the-rocks) is a fruited riff on the Daiquiri. It adds pineapple juice to the traditional rum, lime, and sugar for a sweeter, tropical-fruit character, and is served over ice in an old-fashioned glass rather than up.
The Daiquiri itself is widely credited to American mining engineer Jennings Cox, who is said to have first mixed rum, lime juice, and sugar near the Daiquiri iron mines outside Santiago de Cuba around 1898.
