Alright, let’s talk about this “pineapple express drink,” whatever that fancy name means. Sounds like somethin’ the young folks in the city are drinkin’. I ain’t no bartender, but I can tell ya how to make a tasty drink with pineapple, that sweet and tangy fruit we all love.
So, first off, you gotta have pineapple juice. Don’t go buyin’ that fancy stuff in a can if you can help it. Get yourself a real pineapple, cut it up, and squeeze out the juice. It’s a bit of work, but trust me, it tastes a whole lot better. Now, if you’re lazy, store-bought is fine, just make sure it ain’t got too much sugar in it. We want it tangy, not like candy.
Next, you need some booze. This “pineapple express” thing, from what I hear, uses rum. Now, rum is good stuff. Warms ya up on a cold night, cools ya down on a hot day, you know? You can use white rum, the clear kind, or that dark rum, the one that smells like molasses. Both work good, just depends on what you like. Some folks even say you can use that coffee rum, but I ain’t never tried it. Sounds kinda strange to me, mixin’ coffee and pineapple, but who am I to judge?
- If you’re usin’ white rum, you’ll get a cleaner taste, more like the pineapple itself.
- If you’re usin’ dark rum, it’ll be a bit richer, a bit more…I don’t know…earthy, I guess.
Alright, so we got pineapple juice and rum. Now, some folks like to add a little somethin’ creamy to it. They call it “coconut cream.” It’s like that thick stuff on top of a can of coconut milk. You can buy it in a can too, just look for “coconut cream.” This makes the drink all smooth and silky, like a fancy dessert. But if you ain’t got no coconut cream, don’t you worry none. It’ll still be good without it.
And then, there’s lime juice. Just a little bit, mind you. Lime juice makes everything taste brighter, you know? Like sunshine in your mouth. A squeeze or two is all you need. Don’t go overboard, or it’ll be too sour.
So, here’s how I’d make it, simple and easy, like I like things:
Grandma’s Pineapple Delight (that’s what I’m callin’ it):
- Take a big glass, fill it with ice. Gotta keep it cold, especially on a hot day.
- Pour in a good amount of pineapple juice, maybe half the glass or so.
- Add a shot or two of rum, depending on how strong you want it. Be careful, now, don’t want you gettin’ too tipsy.
- If you got it, add a spoonful or two of coconut cream. If not, no big deal.
- Squeeze in a little bit of lime juice. Just a splash.
- Stir it all up real good, until it’s all mixed together.
- And there you have it! A tasty pineapple drink that’ll make you feel good all over. You can even add a little umbrella if you’re feelin’ fancy, but I ain’t got time for that nonsense.
Now, some folks talk about addin’ “energy soda” to it. Sounds like a whole lotta sugar to me. I like to keep it simple and natural and no added stuff. But if the young folks want that then good for them. You kids do what you want, but I’m stickin’ to my recipe.
This “pineapple express drink” – or Grandma’s Pineapple Delight, as I call it – is good for any occasion. Hot summer day, sittin’ on the porch, or even just a quiet evening at home. It’s sweet, it’s tangy, it’s got a little kick to it, and it’ll make you feel good. So go ahead and give it a try. You won’t be disappointed. And remember, don’t drink too much!
