Cocktail Description

The Pineapple Punchdrunk is what happens when Dutch courage meets tropical abandon—a cocktail that balances malt-forward genever with bright pineapple in perfect harmony.

This refreshing stunner combines the botanical richness of Bols Genever with the orange complexity of Pierre Ferrand Dry Curaçao, while fresh pineapple juice provides tropical sweetness that's kept in check by bright lime and a whisper of anise from the Pernod Absinthe. The flavor journey starts with malty genever notes, blooms with juicy pineapple sweetness, and finishes with subtle herbal complexity and a clean citrus zing. Perfect for summer gatherings or as a weekend brunch alternative to mimosas, this cocktail requires moderate bartending skills—mainly in the proper shaking technique and crushed ice presentation. Its tropical-meets-sophisticated profile pairs wonderfully with spicy Asian cuisine, coconut shrimp, or grilled fish tacos, as the fruity sweetness complements heat while the genever and absinthe stand up to bold flavors.
