For a pineapple and vanilla rum, you'll need a white rum or a light rhum agricole. These types of rum allow the pineapple and vanilla flavors to shine through without being overpowered by the aged notes of the rum.

Here are some suggestions for rums you might consider:

1. White agricultural rum: Agricultural rums are made from fresh sugarcane juice, which gives them brighter, grassier aromas. Choose a white agricultural rum for a lighter flavor profile.

2. Traditional White Rum: A traditional white rum made from molasses can also work. Just make sure it tastes neutral enough to allow the pineapple and vanilla flavors to shine.

3. Infused Rum: You could also opt for a white rum already infused with vanilla. This would add an extra dimension to your rum arrangement.

Choosing pineapple for a pineapple and vanilla rum drink depends largely on your personal preferences and the availability of varieties in your region. Here's the type of pineapple you should choose for a pineapple rum drink recipe:

1. Victoria Pineapple: This variety is prized for its sweet, juicy, and fragrant flesh. It can add a delicious sweetness to your rum punch.

2. Cayenne Pineapple: Cayenne pineapple has a more tangy flavor and can add a slightly spicy kick. This can add complexity to your infusion.

3. Queen Victoria Pineapple: With a sweet, golden flesh, the Queen Victoria pineapple is another delicious option for a rum punch.

4. MD-2 Pineapple (or Extra Sweet Pineapple): This variety is known for its sweet flavor and low acidity. It can be a great choice if you prefer a milder flavor profile.

5. Sugarloaf Pineapple: Sugarloaf pineapple is prized for its sweet, low-acidity flesh. It can contribute to a more balanced rum punch.

Make sure to choose pineapples that are ripe but not too soft, with a strong fruity aroma. The quality of the base ingredient plays a vital role in the final result of your rum punch. Experiment with different varieties to discover the one that best suits your tastes.

The most commonly used are Madagascar vanilla, Tahitian vanilla, and Bourbon vanilla. Each has its own distinctive flavor and aroma.

1. Madagascar Vanilla: This is one of the most popular and widely used vanilla varieties. It has a sweet, creamy, and rich taste with hints of chocolate. Madagascar vanilla often complements the sweet flavors of pineapple well.

2. Tahitian Vanilla: This variety has a more floral and fruity flavor profile, with subtle notes of plum and cherry. If you're looking for a vanilla with exotic aromas that can complement pineapple, Tahitian vanilla can be an excellent choice.

3. Bourbon Vanilla: Bourbon vanilla is often associated with Madagascar vanilla, as Madagascar is part of the geographical region known as Bourbon. It has a similar taste, but can have some distinct nuances.

Tip for choosing your vanilla : Choose high-quality, plump, and well-moistened vanilla beans. If possible, avoid artificial vanilla extracts, as real vanilla beans add a superior aromatic complexity to your rum.
