Azalea Cocktail
This refreshing Azalea drink has bright notes of tart citrus and sweet pineapple. This refreshing drink is easy and looks gorgeous on party tables.
This fruity and refreshing drink is perfect for Spring. I love pineapple-based cocktails like the Pina Colada or Pineapple Margaritas as they always make me feel like I'm on vacation. It is great for parties, sipping by the pool, or BBQs. Fun fact: Did you know it is also the official cocktail of The Master's golf tournament?
Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips
- Gin: I like Seagrams which is a London dry gin. It is mellow with notes of juniper and lemon which complement this cocktail perfectly. Bombay and Sapphire are good choices too. If you're not a big fan of gin, you could also use vodka.
- Also great in Greyhound drinks, and Watermelon Cocktails
- Pineapple Juice: Look for small cans of pineapple juice in the juice aisle.
- Grenadine: Look for one made from real pomegranate. Use leftovers in Tequila Sunrises or Shirley Temples.
- Lemon Juice: Use freshly squeezed for the best results.
Tips and Tricks
- Get the Most Juice From Your Lemons: Get the most juice from lemons by rolling them on the counter and then microwaving them for 15-30 seconds. Using a fork to poke the flesh can also help if you don't have a juicer.
- Measure Correctly: One shot glass equals around 1.5 ounces. You can also use measuring spoons. One tablespoon=one ounce.
- Adjust the Sweetness: Add more or less grenadine to taste.
- No Cocktail Shaker? No problem! Use a mason jar instead.
- Warning: Real azalea plants are toxic, do not use them as a garnish or around food.
