Here at Craft Gin Club, we love experimenting with fabulous and unusual taste combinations that bring the most out of our gin. Two things that take us straight into summer mode? Pineapples (reminiscent of a balmy tropical island - we can dream!) and BBQs (what’s a British summer without one, or three?) and this cocktail combines those two summer symbols!

This tasty cocktail recipe is a corker: you take the sweet juiciness of pineapple and BBQ/grill it to add smoky, caramelised notes; combine with your favourite dry gin and the refreshing, bubbly tartness of prosecco, and you’ve got a marvellously thirst-quenching, sweet cocktail. It’s worth checking out this Pineapple Collins cocktail too if you love a zingy fruity taste!

This Pineapple & Prosecco Royale is a match made in heaven with BBQ food. Try it! We bet you’ll love it…

Pineapple & Prosecco Royale 

2 pineapple wheels
50ml gin
70ml pineapple juice
Prosecco, to top up

Grill the pineapple wheels for 5 minutes before turning them over. Continue grilling until they are lightly browned and caramelised. Cut one wheel of pineapple into wedges and muddle it into your cocktail shaker. Add ice, gin, and juice. Shake for two minutes. Strain into a glass with ice. Top up with prosecco and garnish with the remaining grilled pineapple wheel.
