Red Pineapple
Cocktail recipe

Rating

4 / 5
The Red Pineapple cocktail is a tropical-inspired drink that combines the sweetness and tang of pineapple juice with the rich, smooth undertones of whiskey. When these primary ingredients intermingle, they offer a refreshing and somewhat unexpected flavor profile, ideally suited for a lowball glass. The addition of grenadine not only provides a hint of pomegranate sweetness but also lends the drink a vibrant red hue, from which the cocktail takes its playful name. The Red Pineapple serves as a simple yet inviting choice for those looking to enjoy a fruity cocktail with a subtle whiskey backdrop.

4/5

Red Pineapple is a delightful play of robust whiskey against the tropical brightness of pineapple juice, with a dash of grenadine for sweetness. A choice pick for those who favor whiskey in a more playful, fruity context.
