Pineapple’s sweet-acidic balance makes it a natural match for spicy, savory, or tropical dishes.
Use fresh pineapple juice or chunks — the difference in flavor is huge.
For a creamier texture, add ¼ oz coconut cream for a Piña-Daiquiri hybrid.
Adjust simple syrup based on how sweet your pineapple is.
Want it boozier? Float a splash of dark rum on top for a layered island vibe.
