Summer Cocktails - The Grilled Pineapple Mojito

The NUDE Grilled Pineapple Mojito

Inspired by the tropical summerfruit pineapple, Spoonabilities, a duo from Miami creating beautiful recipes and cocktails, made for NUDE a summer cocktail called The Grilled Pineapple Mojito.

The heroes of this cocktail are the pineapple and a Barcelo Especial extra dry rum from the Dominican Republic, presented beautifully in NUDE's Big Top longdrink glass.

To elevate this summer cocktail, garnish it with pineapple chunks. For the grilled pineapple chunks, remove the skin and top from a ripe pineapple and cut into 1/3-inch slices. Grill until caramelized. Cut into chunks and carefully add it to the cocktail.

If you like your cocktail to have an even more fruitier flavour, you can juice the grilled pineapple and add around 60 ml of juice to the cocktail.

For this rich cocktail, we suggest to use the Big Top longdrink glass of 430cc as it will be the perfect size to carry all those flavours.
