pineapple rum cocktails with spilled ice on blue table

Meet your new favorite Pineapple Rum Cocktail—a hand-smoked, spiced rum drink with tropical pineapple and just the right amount of edge.

pineapple rum cocktails with spilled ice on blue table

If you're looking to upgrade your cocktail game, this Smoky Pineapple Rum Cocktail might just be your new go-to. We usually lean toward tequila this time of year (we see you, Pink Señorita), but this year Keith took things in a bold new direction—spiced rum, pineapple juice, and just a touch of smoke. It's tropical with a twist and seriously hard to put down.

This drink is the perfect match for summer grilling or your next taco night. We especially love it paired with Pulled Pork Tacos, Crispy Chicken Taquitos, or even a platter of Smoky Black Bean Quesadillas for a veggie-friendly option. It's a cocktail that looks impressive, tastes even better, and couldn’t be easier to make.

FAQ

What alcohol goes best with pineapple juice?

Pineapple juice pairs beautifully with spiced rum, white rum, and coconut rum. For a smoky twist, try hand-smoking the glass or adding a splash of mezcal. In this recipe, we use spiced rum to bring warm, rich flavor that balances the sweetness of the pineapple.

Can I use canned pineapple juice in a pineapple rum cocktail?

Yes! Canned or bottled pineapple juice works great in this cocktail—just be sure it’s 100% juice with no added sugar. Fresh pineapple juice adds extra brightness, but either will do the trick.

What kind of rum should I use in a pineapple rum cocktail?

We love using spiced rum for extra depth and warm spice notes. Brands like Captain Morgan or Kraken work well. If you prefer a lighter flavor, white rum or even a pineapple-flavored rum are great options too.

How do you make a smoked pineapple rum cocktail at home?

We recommend using a use a torch to char wood chips, creating a smoke-filled glass. You can also use a Smoketop Cocktail Smoker Kit to infuse the glass with flavor before pouring your drink. It’s an easy way to impress and elevate a classic pineapple rum cocktail.

Can I batch this pineapple rum cocktail for a party?

Absolutely! Just multiply the ingredients and mix in a pitcher (without ice). Store in the fridge until ready to serve, and smoke each glass individually for presentation, or use a larger smoking dome for batch flair.

      Hi Alli, thanks for stopping by!
      Since this is a craft cocktail, it's best to make it individually. However, you could 4X the recipe and shake it vigorously in an airtight pitcher/container. Then smoke it individually (after pouring) or use a cocktail smoker like this: cocktail smoker directly over the pitcher to get the smoky flavor.

      please let us know how it goes! Cheers!

    the hand-smoked flavor of this cocktail is incredible! It adds so much depth of flavor to the pineapple juice. How did we live without it??
