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

Steps
