- Pineapple Skin Syrup:
- 2 cups turbinado (raw) sugar
- 3 cups water
- 1 lime, juiced, rind reserved, divided
- Core and skins from one pineapple
- For each cocktail:
- 1.5 oz. bourbon
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 3 oz. Pineapple Skin Syrup
- Ice cubes plus crushed ice for serving
- Pineapple leaves, for garnish
For the syrup: Add sugar, water and lime rind to large pot and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add pineapple skins and cores and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Strain and let cool completely. Stir in lime juice. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container.
For each cocktail: Add a few ice cubes to a shaker and add bourbon, lemon juice, and Pineapple Skin Syrup and shake vigorously. Pour over crushed ice. Garnish with a pineapple leaf (not edible, but very festive!)
Notes:
What’s left: Spent lime and lemon. Cooked core and skins.
For a nonalcoholic drink, leave out the bourbon and serve syrup with lemon over crushed ice and topped with seltzer water.
