Notes
Make ahead and batching tips: Cocktails are best made to order, but you can prep ahead for a party. Stir together the rum, pineapple juice, Campari, lime, and simple syrup (scaled up for your crowd) and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Tip: Scaling for 8 drinks is easy: just change the word ounces to cups.
When serving, just shake 1 or 2 drinks at once in a cocktail shaker and strain into glasses. (Don’t add ice to the batch in advance or it will water down the drinks too much.)
