Print Recipe

A smoky-sweet grilled pineapple cocktail with white rum and fresh lime juice, perfect for easy, refreshing tropical drinks with a unique twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into rings or chunks
  • 2 ounces white rum (e.g., Bacardi or Captain Morgan)
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice, freshly squeezed
  • ½ ounce simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Club soda or sparkling water to top off (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel, core, and slice the pineapple into ½-inch thick rings or chunks.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
  3. Place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden grill marks and a slight caramelized crust form.
  4. If making homemade simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves, then cool.
  5. In a cocktail shaker, add 2-3 grilled pineapple pieces and muddle gently to release juices without smashing to pulp.
  6. Add 2 oz white rum, 1 oz fresh lime juice, and ½ oz simple syrup to the shaker.
  7. Fill the shaker with ice cubes, secure the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
  8. Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, top with a splash of club soda.
  9. Garnish with a lime wheel and a sprig of mint.

Notes

Do not over-muddle the pineapple to avoid a pulpy drink. Adjust simple syrup to taste. Grill pineapple just before mixing for best flavor. Chilling the glass beforehand keeps the cocktail refreshing longer. For a sugar-free version, replace simple syrup with natural sweetener or omit it. Aged rum can be used for richer flavor. Leftover grilled pineapple can be stored in the fridge up to 2 days.
