Wahine (Pineapple Punch)
(Pineapple Punch)
Though this was considered a "frozen" drink back in the '50s, it's nothing like the stiff, icy, machine-made variety you get today. Finely crushed ice is blended into the cocktail to give it some body; then the concoction is poured over more ice to give it the proper chill. If you want to stick with tradition, fill the glasses with cracked ice rather than regular cubes. To make cracked ice, simply wrap the cubes in a kitchen towel and lightly tap with a rolling pin.
