Lola's Birthday Luau

I'm throwing myself a birthday luau/pool party on June 19. Here's the menu:

Drinks: Aloha LA 

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes (to yield about 3 cups)
  • 1 1/4 cups light rum
  • 1/2 cup agave nectar
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 large limes)
  • 2 cups ice
  • 1 (1 liter) bottle ginger ale

Directions

Garnish: 2 limes, cut into wedges
Special equipment: a 60-ounce pitcher
In a blender, combine the pineapple, rum, agave nectar, and lime juice. Blend until the pineapple is almost pureed. Pour the pineapple mixture into a large pitcher. Add the ice and stir. Slowly pour in the ginger ale.
Pour the cocktail into glasses and garnish with lime wedges.
