Pineapple Whiskey Punch

Pineapple Whiskey Punch

The Pineapple Whiskey Punch is a smooth and unexpected combination that brings together the warmth of whiskey with tropical pineapple sweetness and a ginger ale fizz.

This easy cocktail is perfect for whiskey lovers who want something lighter and more refreshing than a traditional whiskey cocktail. The ginger ale adds subtle spice while keeping it crisp, making this an ideal drink for football season when you want something beyond the standard beer and bourbon.

Perfect for serving from your Cocktail Gator portable bar at fall tailgates, game day parties, or backyard gatherings. The organized bottle storage keeps your whiskey, pineapple juice, and ginger ale perfectly chilled and accessible. With clean ice from your Gator's dedicated ice bin, every Pineapple Whiskey Punch stays perfectly balanced - never watered down by contaminated cooler ice.

4 oz pineapple juice
2 oz ginger ale
Maraschino cherry (garnish)
Ice cubes

💼 Store in Your Cocktail Gator:

How to Make Pineapple Whiskey Punch

Step 1: Pull a red Solo cup from your Gator's spring-loaded dispenser. Clean cups ready when you need them.

Step 2: Fill the cup with clean ice cubes from your Gator's dedicated ice bin. Clean ice means no off-flavors in your whiskey.

Step 3: Pour 2 oz of whiskey from your organized bottle compartment. Bourbon adds sweetness; Tennessee whiskey (like Jack Daniel's) adds smooth character.

Step 4: Add 4 oz of pineapple juice. The insulated compartments keep juice perfectly chilled.

Step 5: Top with 2 oz of ginger ale for subtle spice and fizz. The ginger complements both the whiskey and pineapple beautifully.

Step 6: Give it a gentle stir to combine without losing carbonation. Drop in a maraschino cherry from your Gator's front storage pocket. Serve immediately and enjoy!

🎯 Pro Tips & Tricks

🥃 Whiskey Choice: Bourbon (like Jim Beam or Maker's Mark) adds caramel sweetness. Tennessee whiskey (like Jack Daniel's) is smoother. Both work great!

🍍 Juice Quality: Use good quality pineapple juice, not pineapple drink. Real juice makes a huge difference in flavor.

🫚 Ginger Ale Matters: Use quality ginger ale like Canada Dry or Fever-Tree. The ginger spice balances the sweet pineapple.

❄️ Keep It Cold: Pre-chill pineapple juice and ginger ale in your Gator's insulated compartments for ice-cold drinks.

🍒 Cherry Juice: Let the cherry sit in the drink for a minute - it adds subtle sweetness as the syrup mixes in.

🍹 Batch Option: Pre-mix whiskey and pineapple juice in a bottle. Add ginger ale when serving to keep the fizz.

🏈 Perfect Pairing: This drink pairs amazingly with BBQ, grilled burgers, and game day snacks. The pineapple cuts through rich food perfectly.
