Drinks in a pinapple are the best! Amd those corkscrew corers rock. The fresh pinapple they leave behind is sooo tasty.

We did home-made booloo's (served in the pinapple) last weekend. Everyone thought they were great. The only problem is the price of pinapples.

As far as garnish, I must admit, its one area where I slack-off. All else is fresh squeezed, hand mixed, served in the appropriate vessel, but then garnished with a cherry stabbed to a wedge of lemon or lime. Usually stabbed by an umbrella.

For the non-tikiphiles who come to visit, thats an elaborate garnish. For those in the know...a bit of a different story.

I think the book PAD...or maybe PAD PARTY has a few pages devoted to extravagant (and sometimes flaming) garnishes.

I'm curious to whateveryone else does. Are garnishes becomming a lost art, or does everyone take the time to put them together and spice up a drinks presentation?
