Pineapple Whiskey Cocktail Recipe

A perfect whiskey cocktail for the fall, or all year long really. A refreshing pineapple whiskey cocktail with spiced honey simple syrup for a light and rich sip!

 

Cold fall nights can make a person yearn for warmer climates, and any drink that can evoke some images of warm exotic locations like tropical islands is loved around here. This pineapple whiskey cocktail does both, combining tropical sweetness of pineapple with the spicy warmth of a spiced honey simple syrup. Add in a dram of whiskey and before you know it, some of those winter blues will slip away! Also try it with grilled pineapple juice, too!

We used the same spiced syrup that we used in our Holiday Honey Punch, served in a punch bowl which has a sweet and spicy warmth that brings a great complex flavor to the drink. Adding in some great Single Malt Whiskey which makes this simple drink a fantastic drink to sip on! Even on a warm summer day, this is a great option for summer parties.

Other pineapple whiskey cocktail suggestions would be a pineapple whiskey lemonade, Hawaiian stone sour, pineapple whiskey sour cocktail or pineapple bourbon mule! They all sound delicious!

What Ingredients are Needed for the Pineapple Whiskey Cocktail?

  • Spiced Honey Simple Syrup – we used spices to enhance a homemade honey simple syrup. These spices add a sweet warmth to the cocktail and works really well with the whiskey and pineapple juice. Make this Spiced Honey Simple Syrup beforehand so it can cool in time to room temperature.
  • Pineapple Juice – pineapple juice adds a great tropical flavor to this cocktail. It also adds a little sweetness which plays really well with the spiced honey simple syrup and the whiskey.
  • Whiskey – in this case we used a local single malt whiskey. We would encourage you to use a rye whiskey or an American single malt, but feel free to use a premium whiskey. You can use a Scotch single malt, but we would encourage a lowlands or highland whisky without a lot of smoke. We wouldn’t encourage a bourbon whiskey because it may be too sweet in this.
  • Bitters – we used regular Angostura bitters in this. Just a simple 2 dashes.

How to Make the Pineapple Whiskey Cocktail

This cocktail is super easy to make, you just have to plan time ahead to make the Spiced Honey Simple Syrup. Just as long as you have time for the syrup to cool, you will have a great and easy 4 ingredient drink.

I am not a huge fan of whiskey but I can drink bourbon, like my hubby drinks, if I can cut it with some fruit juice! I am interested in trying the bitters!

It's not overly whiskey strong, you could totally use bourbon! The bitters are amazing - from Colorado, we bought all 5 that they offer - they are fantastic!
