Why Pineapple Is Perfect for Cocktails

Pineapple’s juicy sweetness pairs beautifully with everything from citrus and herbs to fizzy sodas and tropical syrups. What makes pineapple truly special is how it holds up under heat. Unlike watermelon or cucumber, which lose their essence when cooked, pineapple syrup retains its robust flavor—whether you’re using fresh fruit or juice.

This makes it ideal for both slow-simmered syrup recipes and quick, no-cook options.

And when you add a tangy twist like Blue Curacao syrup, the result is pure magic—bright, refreshing, and irresistibly tropical.

How to Make Pineapple Syrup at Home

Wondering how to make pineapple syrup at home? It’s simpler than you think and can be done two ways: with fresh pineapple or with juice.
