STORY
Echo Spirits Pineapple Rum is a natural infusion of our silver Rum. Many pineapple-flavored rums are either artificially-flavored and -colored or use freshly-cut pineapple. This results in a very sweet spirit. Certainly tasty when giving a sample to someone, but harder to work with in a cocktail. Even making a simple daiquiri would be more difficult, with a bartender needing to adjust the amount of sugar being used to account for the sugar in the base spirit.
Instead, we use both the flesh and bark/husk of pineapples which have been juiced by our friends at Simple Times Mixers. Since the juice is gone, most of the sugar is as well, but plenty of the rich pineapple flavor is left. This creates a dry pineapple rum, which allows it to be easily substituted for any silver rum as well as used in dry, boozy applications.
We infuse in small batches at a time, so some color variation can occur. We strive instead to ensure that our flavor profile is consistent. We don't add any artificial flavoring or coloring. All of our flavor comes from real, whole ingredients. Some sediment or floaties can occur in a bottle over time as particles bond together. A simple shake will dissipate these, and everything inside is safe to consume. What you're seeing is just tiny pieces of pineapple!

Lessons Learned
We've been working with this for a while. Here are some discoveries we've made.
- Try it in less obvious ways - it works well in dry, boozy cocktails. Be adventurous and think outside the "tropical" box.
- Make sure you use a bit of sugar and acidity to maximize the pineapple character.
- Substitute it anywhere you would use a silver rum for an easy riff.
- In something bubbly and effervescent, substitute 1 oz pineapple juice for 1 oz of the bubbles to make the pineapple shine.
- Try it in place of gin in boozy, stirred cocktails for a fruity-but-dry riff. Think a Negroni, Last Word, or Gimlet.
