Pineapple Cobbler: A Spirit-Free Drink

To give this spirit-free pineapple cobbler complexity and depth, Chris Lemperle, beverage consultant for Kiko in New York City, combined green yuzu kosho with celery syrup. The paste made with green chiles and green yuzu peels is generally used to spice up fish, soup, and vegetables. “Paired with the sweetness of pineapple, the zing of green yuzu kosho, and the effervescence of Mediterranean tonic, this drink delivers a complex yet refreshing profile that’s both botanical and invigorating,” says Lemperle. 

Ingredients

  • 1 oz. pineapple juice
  • 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
  • 3/4 oz. celery/green yuzu kosho syrup
  • 1 1/2 oz. tonic water
  • Tools:shaker
  • Glass:goblet
  • Garnish:mint bouquet and celery curl

Add the first 3 ingredients to a shaker with ice and whip shake. Pour the contents into a goblet, add the tonic, then top with crushed ice and garnish.
