It gave me a reason to buy a new bar tool, a really cool set of various-sized pineapple corers from VacuVin. Worked like a dream, and she loved it! Awesome, I love my VacuVin, despite being an Alton Brown "no unitasker" disciple. I'm the same way when it comes to classic recipes: I make the cocktail to the original recipe first. If I like it as-is, great. If I want to tweak it I then have a baseline to compare it to. Okole Maluna! kevin
