Cocktails with Pineapple syrup
Pineapple syrup is a sweetener made by blending pineapple juice or fruit with sugar into a pourable syrup.
Taste profile
Ripe pineapple carries through first — juicy and tropical over a heavy sweetness, with a faint tang from the fruit's acidity.
How it's used
Stirred or shaken into the build, it sweetens and adds fruit body at the same time, dosed by the barspoon or half-ounce and adjusted against the drink's sour element.
Substitutes for Pineapple syrup
A tropical fruit syrup of similar sweetness, or muddled fresh pineapple with sugar syrup.
Description
Makers cook or steep pineapple flesh or juice with sugar, then strain out the solids to leave a concentrated tropical-fruit syrup; some versions fold in the toasted rind for extra depth.
Storage
Fruit-based syrup spoils faster than plain sugar syrup; refrigerate and use within a couple of weeks.
