Y’all are in for a treat. I had leftover pineapple simple syrup in the fridge from my Bridgerton party (specifically, my Diamond of the Season Punch) and decided to try it with bourbon and voila, a delicious Pineapple Julep was born!
It’s no secret that I’m a bourbon girlie. I love a classic Mint Julep, a Lavender Julep, and now a cheerful Pineapple Julep. This is especially adorable with some pineapple cubes, pineapple slices, or even some pineapple spears in lieu of mint sprigs for a tropical twist on a front porch favorite.
Pineapple Julep
2 oz bourbon
1/2 oz pineapple simple syrup
Finely crushed ice
Mint sprig, fresh pineapple cubes for garnish
- Fill mint julep glasses with crushed ice. Pour bourbon and pineapple simple syrup over ice. Garnish with mint sprig and pineapple cubes on a toothpick.
Pineapple Simple Syrup
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup cubed pineapple
- Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small sauce pan until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat an pour syrup over pineapple cubes in a heatproof bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Strain syrup from solids. Keep in a jar in the fridge for several weeks.
Happy sipping,
