Cool down with this boozy fruit that is both a snack and cocktail in one. We’ve used pineapple in this recipe but you could use watermelon, peaches or any other fruit that absorbs well.
- 1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Apple Pie Spice
- 1/3 Cup Water
- 1 1/2 Cups Bourbon
- 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 4 Cups Pineapple Chunks
- Toothpicks For Serving
- In small-size saucepan combine brown sugar, apple pie spice, and 1/3 cup water. Turn heat to medium and cook 2 minutes until sugar dissolves. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and lemon juice. Pour mixture into medium-size bowl. Stir pineapple chunks into bourbon mixture and cover with plastic wrap. Place in freezer for 2 to 3 hours until very cold. Stir every 30 minutes for the first hour.
- Remove from freezer and drain bourbon mixture before serving and save for use in cocktails.
- Serve with toothpicks.
- Use this same method with other combinations of fruit, flavorings, and spirits like: Watermelon Chunks (Gin plus 2 tablespoons lime juice and zest) Fresh Peach Wedges (Vodka plus 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger plus 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon)
- If you don’t have apple pie spice on hand here is how to make it: 4 Tablespoons Ground Cinnamon, 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Nutmeg, 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Allspice, 1 Teaspoon Ground Ginger, 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Cardamom Combine spices in small-size bowl. Mix well to combine. Store in small jar or spice container.
