Flowers are popping up everywhere and I couldn’t be more ready for summer. I have big plans to entertain my friends and family this year with outdoor parties overflowing with festive drinks. This sparkling pineapple cocktail will be on repeat all season long. It’s made with fresh pineapple, mint, and lime muddled together then topped with a splash of rum and sparkling wine. The flavor is amazing and perfectly refreshing.
It’s easy to make too, so you’re not playing bartender all night long. Set up a bar area with the ingredients ready to go, so guests can make their own pineapple cocktails as strong or as sweet as they like.
