Notes
Use fresh, high-quality pineapple juice for the best flavor—it makes a noticeable difference in the cocktail’s brightness. Shake the cocktail vigorously to properly chill and dilute the drink, which balances the flavors. Honey syrup is easier to mix into the drink than raw honey and ensures even sweetness. If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a mason jar with a lid. Always taste and adjust honey or lemon juice according to your preference before serving.
