Accra Pineapple Kick

Description

Pineapple syrup brings a ripe tropical note without the pulpy weight of juice. Gin and lemon give it structure, and ginger cordial leaves a warm kick after the soda. Try it if you like a Collins and want both a tropical note and a little ginger heat.

  • 20 ml Pineapple syrup
  • 20 ml lemon juice
  • 10 ml ginger cordial

Bar Spoon – Used to stir the drink smoothly with ice before serving. Muddler – Useful for gently pressing herbs, fruit or sugar when building the drink. Bottle Opener – Useful if the serve uses bottled soda, ginger beer or sparkling wine.
