Cocktails with Pineapple purée
Pineapple purée is blended, strained pineapple flesh with a thicker, pulpier body than pineapple juice.
How it's used
It brings pineapple flavor and body. In a shaken drink, a hard shake also whips it into a soft, lasting foam.
Substitutes for Pineapple purée
Homemade pineapple purée
Make your own: blend fresh pineapple, or canned pineapple in its own juice, until smooth, then press it through a sieve. Use the same amount.
Sweetened purée
With this the cocktail needs less syrup, so taste before adding any.
In the same amount it gives a thinner cocktail. This is most noticeable in a short shaken one.
