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.

Cocktail Colin says:
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.

FAQ's
What is the best way to serve a Red Pineapple cocktail for optimal taste?
The Red Pineapple cocktail is best served cold in a lowball glass. To ensure it's served at optimal taste, fill the glass with ice, pour in the whiskey and grenadine, then top up with pineapple juice. Stir gently to combine the ingredients without diluting the drink too much. Serve immediately.
Can I substitute another type of fruit juice in the Red Pineapple cocktail?
Yes, you can substitute another type of fruit juice in the Red Pineapple cocktail if pineapple juice is not available or if you're looking to experiment with flavors. Mango juice or orange juice could be good options, offering a similar tropical sweetness that complements the whiskey and grenadine.
How does the alcohol content of the Red Pineapple cocktail compare to a standard cocktail?
With an alcohol content of 3.43%, the Red Pineapple cocktail is relatively low in alcohol compared to a standard cocktail, which typically ranges from 10% to 20% ABV depending on the ingredients and proportions. This makes the Red Pineapple a lighter option, suitable for those seeking a milder drink.
What are some customization ideas for the Red Pineapple cocktail to enhance its flavor or presentation?
To enhance the flavor or presentation of the Red Pineapple cocktail, consider adding a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh pineapple as garnish for a pop of color and added aroma. You could also rim the glass with sugar or add a splash of coconut milk for a creamy twist. Experimenting with different brands or types of whiskey can also alter the drink's flavor profile to your liking.
What occasions are most suitable for serving the Red Pineapple cocktail?
The Red Pineapple cocktail, with its refreshing and tropical profile, is most suitable for summer gatherings, outdoor barbecues, and poolside parties. Its lower alcohol content makes it a great daytime drink, perfect for occasions where guests might prefer a lighter, more refreshing beverage option.
