A sweet, smoky, and citrusy cocktail, the Bourbon Pineapple Smash is the perfect mix of smooth bourbon, fresh pineapple, zesty lime, and mint. It’s a tropical twist on a classic whiskey smash, making it an ideal summer or year-round cocktail.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 3/4 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz pineapple juice (fresh is best!)
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup (or honey syrup for a richer taste)
  • 3–4 fresh pineapple chunks
  • 4–5 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice (for shaking & serving)
  • Club soda or ginger beer (optional, for topping)
  • Pineapple slice & mint sprig (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Muddle the Flavors:

  • In a cocktail shaker, add pineapple chunks, mint leaves, and lime juice.
  • Muddle gently until the pineapple is crushed and releases its juice.

2. Add Bourbon & Shake:

  • Add bourbon, pineapple juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
  • Fill with ice and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds.

3. Strain & Serve:

  • Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.
  • If you like a fizzy finish, top with club soda or ginger beer.

4. Garnish & Enjoy:

  • Garnish with a pineapple slice and a fresh mint sprig.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a smokier flavor, try using a smoked bourbon or grilling the pineapple before muddling.
  • Want it sweeter? Increase the simple syrup to 3/4 oz or use maple syrup for added depth.
  • Make it a frozen cocktail! Blend all ingredients with ice for a bourbon pineapple slushie.
