Pineapple and Mint Gin Cocktail

Smash up some fresh pineapple for this ultra-light gin cocktail.

Equipment

  • Mixer, muddling spoon, rocks glass.

Ingredients

  • 2 Oz. Gin
  • 1 Oz. Pineapple juice More or less to taste
  • 2 Slices Pineapple Fresh or canned
  • 2 Sprigs Mint
  • Seltzer To finish

Instructions

  • Chill your rocks glass as you make your drink.
  • Muddle the pineapple. Set some aside if you want to garnish with it. Pineapple is full of fiber, so muddling might be a bit challenging.
  • If you LOVE mint, and want the entire world (and beyond) to be minty, muddle your pineapple with some mint.
  • In your rocks glass, toss the chilling ice and add fresh ice.
  • Add your gin to your rocks glass.
  • Strain your muddle pineapple (and maybe mint) into your glass.
  • Top with a little, or a lot, of pineapple juice to taste. This will depend on how much fruit you muddle and how much you love pineapple.
  • Finish with some seltzer for added flair.
