Cocktails with Fresh pineapple juice
Fresh pineapple juice is the sweet, acidic juice pressed from fresh pineapple flesh.
How it's used
Besides sweetness and acidity, it does what few juices do: it shakes up into a thick foam head, as on a French Martini. Raw juice still carries active bromelain, so it slowly breaks down dairy and gelatin in a mix left standing.
Substitutes for Fresh pineapple juice
Fresh pineapple
Best blended and strained.
Bottled pineapple juice
With no added sugar, it swaps in at the same measure and about the same sweetness. It foams a little less and smells flatter.
Too sweet for a straight swap. Use it in place of any syrup, and make up the volume with water and a little lime.
Storage
A day or two chilled. It separates as it stands and wants a stir before measuring, and it ferments faster than most juices, so a faint cider smell means it has started.
