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.
