Cocktail Description
Coffee and tequila might sound like strange bedfellows, but add pineapple juice and you've got a surprisingly harmonious trio that will wake up your taste buds.
The Pineapple Wake-Up Call balances the earthy, aged notes of reposado tequila with the rich bitterness of coffee liqueur, while fresh pineapple juice brings a tropical sweetness that ties everything together. This cocktail delivers a complex flavor experience—first comes the bright fruit, followed by mellow agave warmth, finishing with a pleasant coffee bitterness that lingers just long enough. It's perfect for weekend brunches when you want something more adventurous than a mimosa, or as a happy hour starter that won't put you to sleep. Thankfully, it's straightforward to make with just three ingredients and a quick shake with ice. Try pairing it with savory breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros or chilaquiles, where the cocktail's fruity sweetness will complement the spicy elements while the coffee notes stand up to rich eggs and cheese.
