The ‘Garden Collins Summer Series’, a series dedicated to the Tom Collins cocktail continues with Charred Pineapple and Coriander Rum Collins using charred pineapple syrup and coriander from the garden.
The charred pineapple syrup lends subtle smoke to the drink while coriander adds a fresh and herbaceous note. If you’re averse to using coriander, you can substitute tarragon or lemon thyme.
