Flame up the drinks menu with a smoky twist on a sweet and fruity summer pleaser.
Equipment
Ingredients
• 1 pineapple, cut into 2cm thick slices
• 3 Tbsp fresh lime or lemon juice (or combine both)
• 2 Tbsp honey, to taste
• 1 cup fresh pineapple juice
• Crushed ice
• Fresh mint
• lime wedges for garnish
Method
1. Cut up and core your pineapple into 2cm thick slices.
2. Preheat your grill to medium-high and oil slightly.
3. Grill pineapple slices for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until caramelized. Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge until completely cool.
4. In a blender, add your fresh juices, half the grilled pineapple slices, and honey. Blend until smooth, then strain to remove any pineapple pulp.
5. Serve in a drink dispenser with lime wedges and mint. Use leftover grilled pineapple pieces for guests to garnish their drinks and pour over crushed ice.
TIP: To turn it into a cocktail, add 30mls of Tequila and 15mls of Orange Liqueur.
Looks like a great recipe. I would love to know where I could buy that drink dispenser or just know it’s name?

Tried this weekend and we loved it paired with our own smoked pork loin in the kamodo smoker with your chimchurri recipe … it was amazing !!!
It’s now being rehashed for our Sunday lunch over roasted spuds hash topped with the pork and dressed with the chimchurri and some white rum added to the charred pineapple cocktail with heaps of fresh mint
