Pineapple Upside-Down Cake Cocktail
You didn't know you needed a pineapple upside-down cake cocktail in your life, but you just didn't know what you were missing! This easy and delicious drink uses a good dark rum, pineapple juice, and warm cinnamon syrup with a hit of tart lime that brings a tropical vibe in even the coldest weather!
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 ounces of dark rum
- 1 1/2 ounces of pineapple juice 100%, no sugar added
- 3/4 ounce of cinnamon simple syrup see notes
- 3/4 ounce of fresh lime juice
- Dust of cinnamon
- Optional: charred pineapple and/or bourbon cherry garnish
Instructions
- Fill a shaker halfway with ice and add all the ingredients (except garnish).
- Shake for around 20 seconds.
- Strain into a coupe glass and garnish. Enjoy!
Notes
- Making a cinnamon simple syrup is super easy. Just stir together equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan (1/2 cup of each is fine unless you have a crowd). Heat on medium until it is at a strong simmer, ready to boil. Remove from heat and add a couple cinnamon sticks. Stir and let steep for 10 minutes, then remove the cinnamon. Will keep in the fridge for a couple weeks.
