If you’re a fan of sweet Hawaiian pineapples and cocktails, you’re in luck. There are countless recipes that incorporate fresh juice into delicious, fruity drinks. Whether you’re relaxing on a sunny beach or cooped up in your kitchen waiting out the rain, you can enjoy the aesthetic of the tropics with these five cocktails.

Great Drink Ideas for Pineapple Juice

1. Pineapple Upside Down Cocktail

Dessert lovers will adore this sugary delight. A combination of chilled pineapple juice, amaretto, lime juice, grenadine, and cake-flavored vodka, its sweet flavors are reminiscent of the dessert it’s named after. Add pineapple slices and cherries to your glass as a garnish and tasty post-cocktail treat.

2. French Martini

Although it doesn’t have the same sunny color many other pineapple-based drinks sport, you’ll still have a bright blood orange hue to suit the tropical taste. French martinis are simple to make, requiring only Chambord® black raspberry liqueur, pineapple juice, and gin or vodka. Chambord is made with honey, vanilla, and herbs, complementing the sweet tartness of pineapple.

3. Pineapple Mango Daiquiri

For a refreshing frozen pineapplesbeverage, try a pineapple mango daiquiri. Smooth, fruity, and not overly sweet, this drink is perfect for particularly hot weather. To make it, you’ll need to blend white rum, pineapple juice, lime juice, mango nectar, diced pineapples and mangoes, and some ice. Top it off with a pineapple slice as a garnish, and you’ll have the ideal cocktail to beat the humidity.

4. Honolulu Cocktail

The best tropical cocktails to indulge in are the ones made for the islands themselves. Though it was created in 1930s Hollywood, not Honolulu, the Honolulu cocktail certainly brings the spirit of Hawaii. Made with gin, pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a dash of bitters, this fruity cocktail-martini begs to be sipped in the sun.

5. Pineapple Mojito

The minty freshness of the mojito can only be improved with pineapples. Use lime juice, white rum, pineapple juice and cubes, club soda, brown sugar, and fresh mint leaves for this recipe. You can garnish them with the classic mint leaf and lime wedge mojito combination, as well as pineapples to suit its tropical makeover.
