It looks like it would be a really sweet drink, so you picked the right name for it. I'm not much of a mixologist, but I think it might need a little something sour or bitter to balance it.

It is really sweet. My wife tends to like things like that, so it suits her well. The pineapple juice I use is just Dole from a can, and since it's unsweetened, it actually balances pretty well (at least I think so). I originally made this with about 2 oz of Pineapple juice and it was like drinking cough syrup. Adding the extra 3 oz worth really makes it better. Watering it down by blending also attenuates some of the sweetness.
Thanks for the comment! I'm hoping to be able to make a whole bunch to pass out at Tiki Oasis next year!
