So here we have the Pineapple Julep. We have substituted orange liqueur for the traditional maraschino liqueur (not something we’d do in, say, an Aviation, but it works fine here) and used genever, which was the standard “old gin” called for in early gin julep recipes.
(From 12 Bottle Bar book)
Ingredients
- 1/2 ounce genever
- 1/2 ounce orange liqueur
- 1/2 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice strained
- 1/2 ounce raspberry syrup or Grenadine
- 1 teaspoon pineapple juice strained
- something sweet and sparkling
Steps
- Add all ingredients, save the sparkling, to a mixing glass and stir to combine
- Fill a rocks glass with crushed ice, then pour the mixed drink over the ice
- Top with a sweet sparkling wine
- Garnish with pineapple, berries, and (if desired) mint
