Tropical Meets Traditional: The Ultimate Bourbon Pineapple Smash Recipe

August 31, 2024

This refreshing twist on the classic Bourbon Pineapple Smash melds the lush sweetness of pineapple with the smoky depth of bourbon, complemented by a burst of citrus from lemon or lime. Mint introduces a crisp freshness, making this cocktail a superb pick for both sun-soaked afternoons and lively festivities.

To create this cocktail, begin by muddling pineapple chunks in a cocktail shaker to unlock their sweet essence. Mix in fresh lemon or lime juice for a zesty flair, and pour in a generous amount of bourbon—tailoring the choice to your preferred flavor intensity. Add a dash of Angostura bitters and a drizzle of honey or simple syrup to achieve a balanced, complex taste.

Once mixed and chilled with ice, pour the concoction into a rocks glass over a substantial ice cube to ensure a slow dilution. Garnish with a mint sprig and a pineapple slice or frond, enhancing both the visual and aromatic allure of the drink.

This Bourbon Pineapple Smash is perfect for anyone seeking a cocktail that’s both invigorating and richly flavorful. Tailor the sweetness or the mint intensity to match your palate, crafting a personalized beverage that’s as enjoyable to sip as it is beautiful to behold.

Enjoy this delightful fusion of flavors that promises to transport your senses to a tropical paradise with every sip.
