How to Decorate Homemade Pineapple Drinks

Why not go the extra mile and add some fun and festive decorations to your tropical pineapple drink glasses? Eveyone will get in the celebratory spirit.

To decorate your glasses, spread a few tablespoons of sugar out on a flat plate. Dip the rim of each cocktail glass in water. Then dip them in the sugar. You’ll end up with perfectly frosted rims.

Meanwhile, grill some extra sliced pineapple to decorate each glass with an extra pop of color and bite of fruit. If you already have the BBQ going for dinner, then grilled pineapple chunks are quick and easy to make. Simply leave them on a hot grill just long enough to devleop some nice char marks.

However, if you’re not using the grill, you can just as easily char some pineapple on a griddle pan like the one below (click the image below for more).

Finally, add the finishing tough to each each glass with fresh mint leaves, as pictured.

Ingredient Alternatives To Make This Mocktail Your Own

Add pears and bananas to this tropical slushie recipe to give it some extra flavor. It will disappear in seconds! However, it’s easy to mix and match the ingredients to build a drink that you love. For example, you can add more pineapples and skip the bananas and pears if you prefer a 100% pineapple drink. Likewise, you can add more bananas and pears for a thicker, creamier non-alcoholic drink.

Finally, you can even use pineapple juice instead of real pineapples to make this non-alcoholic pineapple drink. It might not have quite the same thick body, however.
