Pineapple Mule

Pineapple Mule

Bold, bright, and packed with tropical flair, the Pineapple Mule is a fiery spin on the classic mule that blends rich spirits with juicy fruit and a sharp ginger bite. With a base of bourbon, dark rum, or spiced rum, this cocktail brings a depth of flavour that’s balanced perfectly by sweet pineapple juice, zingy lime, and the unmistakable fizz of Double Dutch Ginger Beer. It’s the kind of drink that instantly transports you to warm-weather lounging — no passport required.

Why We Love the Pineapple Mule

The Pineapple Mule is all about contrast — and that’s what makes it so addictive. The warmth of the spirit base (whether you go for bourbon, dark, or spiced rum) gives the drink a rich foundation. Pineapple juice adds brightness and natural sweetness, while lime juice keeps things lively and tart. Then comes Double Dutch Ginger Beer, delivering that iconic mule heat and fizz, elevating every flavour in the glass.

It’s easy to make, fun to drink, and seriously photogenic — especially when garnished with golden pineapple chunks and a sprig of mint. Whether you’re mixing for yourself or serving a crowd, it’s a cocktail that always makes an impression.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve in a tall Collins glass packed with ice to keep things crisp and frosty.
• Garnish with a skewer of pineapple and fresh ginger for a colourful, tropical finish.
• Perfect with grilled foods, spicy dishes, or sweet-and-salty snacks like teriyaki skewers or coconut prawns.

Top Tips

• Shake your rum, pineapple, and lime with ice before topping — this creates a smooth, well-blended base.
• Use fresh pineapple juice if you can — the difference in flavour is huge.
• Want extra heat? Add a thin slice of fresh chilli to the garnish or a dash of ginger syrup to the shaker.

The Pineapple Mule is a lively, tropical take on a much-loved classic — refreshing yet fiery, sweet yet spirited. One sip and you’ll see why this one’s always a hit.
