Originally created by Ben Anderson at The Corner Office in Denver in 2013. The original recipe used Mount Gay Eclipse without the Pineapple infusion, yet I found a comment on Kindred cocktails of someone using Pineapple Rum and that sounded pretty neat.

Funnily, I had just been infusing some Overproof Rum with the fruit and rinds of Pineapple to see how 'Stiggins on Speed' would taste, and used it in this recipe. It came out as a real BANGER.

One alteration I made though was using slightly less simple syrup just to balance things out a bit. (originally .75 simple to .5 lime) Although whichever you prefer may depend on the sweetness of your Pineapple Juice as well.

Cheers!
