If you're looking for a pineapple cocktail that isn't overly sweet, you may want to consider the **Pineapple Daiquiri** or the **Red Pineapple**.

The Pineapple Daiquiri (Rating: 4.7/5) is a great choice for those who enjoy a balanced drink with a mix of tart and sweet flavors. This cocktail combines juicy pineapple and lime juice with the crisp kick of white rum, making it a refreshing option that isn't overly sugary. The touch of sugar syrup provides just enough sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime juice, without overpowering the natural flavors of the ingredients. Served in a highball glass, its cool and invigorating profile makes it a perfect treat on a warm day.

Alternatively, the Red Pineapple (Rating: 4/5) offers a unique twist by pairing pineapple juice with the smooth richness of whiskey and a dash of grenadine. The grenadine adds a subtle sweetness and a beautiful red hue, but it doesn't dominate the drink, allowing the whiskey's depth and the pineapple's freshness to shine through. This combination creates a cocktail that's fruity yet grounded, perfect for those who prefer something less sweet but still flavorful. Plus, being served in a lowball glass, it’s an excellent sipper for any relaxed occasion.

Both choices offer a delightful balance and showcase the tropical charm of pineapple without being overly sweet.
