Thirsty Thursday, Wine Wednesday… no matter what day of the week it is, this cocktail is on the menu!
Even though there is a fresh blanket of snow covering the ground and the trees are perfectly enveloped in white frost… mentally I am on a beach sipping on a Spicy Pineapple Gin Smash.
Anyone else feel the same??
So what makes this Spicy Pineapple Gin Smash so good??
Well for starters, it is incredibly light and refreshing, with a hint of spice!
Perfectly balanced by the freshness from the mint, tang and sweetness from the pineapple and spice from the habanero. Honestly, how could you not find yourself craving this cocktail!?
Yet another reason why I love this beverage is because it is so easy to make!
The secret to easy cocktails is to use ingredients that will give you delicious pops of flavour without having to complicate things.
For this recipe, I use the Simply Cocktails Pineapple Lime Habanero Mix. This company is local to me which I love and they have deliciously unique handcrafted mixes that can be used in so many different ways. The perfect secret ingredient for low maintenance cocktails if you ask me!
