Pineapple and ginger drinks are a traditional combination in Jamaica. My boozy version is fun for a crowd. Would be perfect to pair alongside a jerk feast. Makes 12 servings.
Ingredients:
- 750ml pineapple juice
- 750ml bottle of Toressella Pinot Grigio
- 250ml Plantation Xaymaca Jamaican dark rum
- 100ml orange liqueur
- 500ml Fevertree ginger beer
- Sugarloaf pineapple chunks, divided
- Jamaican black mint leaves, divided
Method
- In a large pitcher add juice, wine, rum, orange liqueur and add pineapple chunks and mint. Stir and allow to infuse for at least an hour.
- When ready to serve, top with ginger beer and pour over prepared glasses which are filled with ice and garnish with more fresh pineapple and mint.
