How to Make a Pineapple Cup + 4 Drinks to Put in it


We've all seen those envy-inducing tropical drinks served in an entire pineapple. They're awesome, and probably make those cocktails taste incredible. Well, ladies and gents, these baller vessels aren't just for swanky resorts. Give any backyard party or beach day a seaside-getaway feel with these bad boys in just a few steps.

How To Make A Pineapple Cup

Step 1: The Pineapple Cup. Our friends at Bottles Fine Wine will show you how it's done.

Don't have a pineapple corer? No worries. Hollow it out like this:
  1. Cut off the top of the pineapple.
  2. Run a knife in a circle around the inside of the pineapple 1/2 inch away from the skin. Cut down to the firm part at the bottom – DO NOT cut all the way through the bottom, otherwise you'll just have a pineapple sleeve.
  3. Once you've cut all the way around, cut the inside core (the part you want to remove) across twice (making 4 pieces).
  4. Use a big spoon to scoop out the inside.


Alright, you've got your cup, now let's fill it. Here are cocktail recipes just begging to be held captive in a pineapple.
