Q6

Q: This drink, created in Puerto Rico, literally translates to "strained pineapple" in Spanish.

Again, based on etymology, you have to go for something that sounds like pineapple in Spanish. If you are familiar with cocktails (another favourite of quizzers), then playing around with the 'pine' root should get you to... (answer in next post)

Previous post:
Petra - Rock (related to Peter, Latin root)
Veritas - Truth/True (related to lots of words with a 'ver' root like veritable, vera, Latin again I think)
Cheetah - Sita (Sanksrit root for the spots on a Cheetah, giving it its name)
Orange - N'arange (French root, converted from "a n'arange" to "an orange"!)
