PINEAPPLE STIGGINS MOJITO Place: Blasé Café, 5263 Ocean Blvd., Sarasota Inventor: Taylor Toelle, general manager and bar manager Ingredients: Plantation Stiggins Fancy Pineapple Rum, roasted pineapple, mint, pineapple juice and soda water. The what and why of it: This summertime twist on the classic mojito gets its mojo from Plantation Stiggins’ Fancy Pineapple Rum — made from real pineapples, naturally. To that, Bar Manager Taylor Toelle adds even more pineapple (both roasted and juiced), fresh muddled mint and soda water. Sound good? It is. And wait ’til you taste it. Toelle’s minty, fruity, modified mojito is a glass of pure liquid chill. Sip, savor, and get blasé. Get it for $10.
