I was assigned to make a cocktail last minute to pair with a teriyaki chicken dinner. I tried going for a grilled pineapple daiquiri, with:
- 1 grilled pineapple ring, muddled
- 2 oz white rum (Bacardi superior)
- 1/2 oz lemon juice
- 1/2 oz sugar syrup (1:1)
- Orange Zest ignited for garnish
I didn't have much time so i had to throw something together really quick. It turned out ok; lightly sweet which complemented the teriyaki chicken's slight sweet and saltyness, and a little smoky from the pineapple. Daiquiri's normally use lime but i didn't want the cocktail to be too sour, as I didn't think it would go well with the teriyaki. There are things I could've done better; a dark aged rum and a different syrup might've worked better.
Anyway, how else could I improve the recipe, and what other flavors go well with teriyaki chicken?
