Delightfully striated, these pineapple "kirs" (creme de cassis adds the ruby-colored layer) blush to a pretty pink when stirred.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup pineapple juice

  • ½ cup gin

  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons creme de cassis

  • 2 pineapple wedges (for garnish)

Directions

  1. In a pitcher, mix together pineapple juice, gin, and lemon juice. Divide between 2 tall (Collins) glasses. Pour 1 teaspoon creme de cassis in the center of each glass; do not stir. Carefully fill glasses with ice cubes, and garnish each with a pineapple wedge.

Variations

You can prepare these cocktails without the pineapple garnish, if desired.
