Frequently Asked Questions

Do You Have To Use Pineapple?

These cocktails all use pineapple as the flavors greatly complement each other. You can substitute for other tropical flavors if you prefer as you can experiment with other tastes.

You can use mango, coconut, or passionfruit, depending on what fruit you can easily purchase (for more refreshing mango cocktail recipes, read here).  

Can You Add More Fruit?

You can adjust the measurements for fruit if you wish! It depends on your taste buds, so if you want to add more fruit for a stronger flavor, make sure that you do!

Keep tasting to make sure that you do not add too much. If you add too much, the flavor could become too overpowering for you to drink. 

How To Make The Cocktail Less Sweet?

If you find that one of the recipes is too sweet for you, add some acidity by adding lemon and lime juice. This will help to balance out the flavors and make the cocktail more enjoyable for you.

You can also reduce the sweetness in the cocktails by not adding as much sugar syrup, so add less than the recipe recommends.
