I am having another pineapple and whiskey drink and thinking that combination has to be my favorite. And everyone to whom I’ve recommended it seems to love it. I put whiskey in my pineapple upside down cakes now, even. There is just such an affinity between the flavors.
What is your match made in heaven?
Whisky or bourbon pair SO WELL with fruits of many sorts. I’m on a big bourbon and grapefruit kick making Brown Derby’s, bourbon palomas, that sorta thing.
I just think it’s so refreshing!
Old fashion lemonade & Rum aka a lemonade rum punch or as I call it a dirty ditch water. It ain’t pretty but god damn it’s tasty.
What’s your pineapple and whiskey drink? If it’s original, do you have specs? Also, bourbon or scotch? If scotch, peated or no?
Today? It was so good!
2 oz bourbon
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz Amaro (I used Amaro Toscano)
3/4 oz roasted pineapple syrup
Shaken.
Look up the Golden Crown by Katherine Bouchel for the syrup recipe and another whiskey/pineapple drink.
I realized I didn’t answer which whiskey - honestly I think the best with canned pineapple juice is Irish whiskey, when we are out, like at a festival , pineapple juice and Jameson is one of the most reliable things you can order.
Bourbon with fresh pineapple juice.
Scotch in pineapple tepache is amazing, and I bet the roasted pineapple syrup would also be a good match.
So, all sorts of whiskey I think probably have some pineapple match.
We’ve spent a week at the beach with blackberry lemonade and whiskey.
