Tropical. Botanical. Ready in Minutes.
Pineapple is one of the most crowd-pleasing flavors you can put in a drink. It’s tropical, sweet, slightly tart — and it plays brilliantly with almost every spirit. Our Pineapple Beverage Gems are crafted to bring authentic, layered pineapple flavor to any glass, with none of the mess of cutting up fresh fruit.
Here are five recipes to get you started.
1. Pineapple Coconut Rum Punch
Vibe: Tropical vacation in a glass.
You'll need:
- 1 Pineapple Beverage Gem
- 1.5 oz coconut rum
- 4 oz sparkling water
- Ice
- Pineapple wedge and toasted coconut flakes to garnish
How to make it: Add ice to a tall glass. Pour in coconut rum, add sparkling water, drop in the gem, and stir until dissolved. Garnish with a pineapple wedge and a pinch of toasted coconut. Every sip is a reminder that your bar cart should always have tropical options.
2. Pineapple Mule
Vibe: Zingy, refreshing, with a tropical upgrade on a classic.
You'll need:
- 1 Pineapple Beverage Gem
- 1.5 oz vodka
- 4 oz ginger beer
- Ice
- Lime wedge and candied ginger to garnish
How to make it: Fill a copper mug or highball glass with ice. Add vodka, drop in the gem, and top with ginger beer. Stir gently and garnish. The pineapple gem softens the ginger’s bite and makes the whole drink feel bright and tropical rather than just spicy.
3. Pineapple Mezcal Sour
Vibe: Smoky, fruity, complex — for the adventurous home bartender.
You'll need:
- 1 Pineapple Beverage Gem
- 1.5 oz mezcal
- 0.75 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 oz still water
- Ice
- Chili salt rim and lime wheel to garnish
How to make it: Rim a rocks glass with chili salt. Combine mezcal, lime juice, and water in a shaker over ice; shake well. Strain into the glass over fresh ice, then drop in the gem and stir. The pineapple gem’s sweetness cuts beautifully through the mezcal’s smoke and the lime’s tartness. This one will become a signature.
4. Pineapple Ginger Sparkling Mocktail (Zero-Proof)
Vibe: Zingy and tropical; works for any occasion.
You'll need:
- 1 Pineapple Beverage Gem
- 4 oz ginger beer (non-alcoholic)
- 3 oz sparkling water
- Ice
- Lime wedge to garnish
How to make it: Combine ginger beer and sparkling water in a glass over ice. Drop in the gem, stir gently, and garnish. The pineapple gem rounds out the ginger beer’s sharpness and adds tropical warmth. This is the mocktail that converts people who think non-alcoholic drinks are boring.
5. Pineapple Mint Agua Fresca (Zero-Proof)
Vibe: Light, fragrant, ideal for summer days or brunch.
You'll need:
- 1 Pineapple Beverage Gem
- 8 oz still or sparkling water
- Ice
- Fresh mint leaves to garnish
How to make it: Drop the gem into a glass of water over ice and stir until fully dissolved. Add fresh mint to garnish. Simple, beautiful, and surprisingly nuanced — the botanical pineapple flavor feels a world away from pineapple-flavored candy.
