Spring has sprung, and that means warmer weather, which (of course) means the start of cocktail season here at Just Putzing Around the Kitchen. And with pineapple in season right now, and St. Paddy’s Day just around the corner, it seems like kind of the perfect time to introduce y’all to this killer Pineapple Whiskey Sour recipe.
Reasons to try this drink ASAP:
- It’s super super easy to make, and uses the most basic of ingredients;
- The flavors are a perfect balance sour and sweet, with a big punch of pineapple flavor thanks to a secret ingredient;
- It’s Monday; and
- 5 o’clock is happening somewhere.
Bottoms up!

What a great idea!! I love whiskey sours, and I have an entire pineapple sitting in my kitchen right now – will definitely give this a try. Also love the spherical ice “cubes”!
Thank you! Honestly, the ice balls might be my favorite part ;p
I can’t think of one reason why whiskey and pineapple juice wouldn’t taste exactly the same
Because it also contains lemon juice maybe…
Because a good pineapple jam is cooked. I make my own homemade with lemon juice, sugar, and pineapples, and that’s it. It’s not the same as muddling a pineapple into the drink.
I plan on making these very soon for upcoming summer parties. What appetizers do you recommend would go well with it? Thank you.
Hi Rachel! These are pretty sweet, so I would recommend balancing it out with some salty/tangy appetizers. Cheese & crackers, prosciutto-wrapped jalapeno poppers, crostini w/ pesto & mozzarella, veggie salsa or guacamole with plenty of lime juice…stuff like that. Hope this helps!
