The Penguin Cafe is a tropical drink that showed up in a tuxedo. Dark rum brings molasses and spice, while pineapple juice and cream of coconut give it the soft, sunny body of a piña colada. Then sweet vermouth comes in with a herbal, slightly bitter edge that pulls it toward a rum Manhattan. It’s rich, smooth and just grown-up enough, a beach drink for someone who’d rather be in a dim, quiet bar. Penguins have never seen a pineapple, but this one isn’t complaining.
