A year ago, when I was in Hawaii, I drank heaps of fruity blends from the poolside bar (like this Maui Island Breeze). At that point, when we went on the swimming outing, the ship's team served us Pineapple Mimosas in transit home.
No squeezed orange, just pineapple juice and champagne. It was then that I truly found my adoration for pineapple juice. I surmise I simply need a little liquor to influence it to go down simpler. 😉
I can't get Hawaii out of my head. Throughout the entire year I've been making Pineapple Mimosa's and longing for the shoreline. I think I've drank more prosecco this year than I ever have previously! After I made my Cake by the Ocean Cocktail a month ago, I began pondering different mixed drinks I could make with pineapple juice.
Also, I needed to include bubbles since, well, bubbles make everything better. Additionally, there's only something about the smell of pineapple squeeze that vehicles me to the shoreline.
