The pineapple – with its bright yellow color and exotic sweetness – is the crowning glory of many cocktails. It not only gives drinks a tropical touch, but also provides a wonderful balance of sweetness and acidity.

Tips for pineapple: selection, storage, and preparation for cocktails

To make your cocktail really shine, choosing the right pineapple is crucial. Make sure the skin is a rich golden color and the fruit has a pleasant aroma – this is a sign of ripeness.

Store the pineapple at room temperature if it needs to ripen further, or in the refrigerator to keep it fresh. Wash well before preparation, peel and cut into small pieces – this allows the full flavor to develop in the drink.
