Stuck stateside this summer? Don’t fret — this cocktail will bring you visions of the beach and a private cabana. The grilled pineapple brings a bit of added flavor that you’ll adore. This cocktail might become your summer favorite.
This drink tastes like something you’d enjoy on a tropical island. Can’t get away this summer? Settle in where you are, and blend up these frosty drinks.
The grilled pineapple is a fun twist to these drinks. The simple step of grilling the pineapple helps caramelize them (and by that I mean it adds a bit of extra sweetness and intensity). I used canned pineapple, mainly for the juice, but you could use fresh pineapple too. Top these off with a spray of whipped topping and some toasted coconut, and then sip and enjoy.
