Pineapple rum cocktail is a great mixed drink to keep in your arsenal. It’s bright with the pop of acidity from the pineapple juice, and sweetness from the grenadine. The best part of this drink though is how it looks. The layers between the bright red and yellow juice look like a beautiful tropical sunset.

The nice thing about a pineapple rum cocktail is that its less than 5 ingredients and ready in a matter of minutes. You likely already have these ingredients in your cupboard. Any summer party or even just evening sitting on your patio is immediately better with this drink in hand.

Ingredients:

3 oz pineapple juice
2 oz rum (White rum or spiced rum will both work great)
1 tbsp lime juice
1/2 tbsp grenadine
4 ice cubes

Tips & Tricks:

Make it Fizzy: You can add some ginger-ale to the mixture. it will make it sweeter as well.
Alcohol: Not a big fan alcohol you can swap it out for the ginger-ale mentioned above or add half the amount of rum. If rum is not your cup of tea try replacing the same amount with vodka.
Don’t make this by the pitcher since the the grenadine will not sit on the bottom of the glass when you go to pour it. The sunset look will be completely lost.
