Honolulu Cooler - Southern Comfort, Pineapple & Lime Highball

The Honolulu Cooler is a simple Southern Comfort highball with Pineapple Juice and Lime Juice. The liqueur brings peach and spice, pineapple supplies sweetness and body, and lime provides the acidity needed to keep the long drink lively.

What You'll Need

Ingredients

• Southern Comfort® - provides peach, spice, sweetness, and the alcoholic base.
• Pineapple Juice - adds tropical fruit and length.
• Lime Juice - supplies fresh acidity.

Equipment

• Highball Glass
• Jigger
• Bar spoon

Sweet Fruit Needs Fresh Lime

The three-quarter-ounce lime measure is important because both Southern Comfort and pineapple lean sweet. The acidity keeps the four-ounce pineapple pour refreshing rather than syrupy.

Substitutions & Variations

• Add club soda for a lighter cooler.
• Use lemon instead of lime for softer acidity.
• Replace part of the pineapple with orange juice.
• Use crushed ice for faster chilling and dilution.

Helpful Tips

• Use fresh Lime Juice.
• Chill the Pineapple Juice before building.
• Fill the glass generously with ice.
• Stir only until evenly combined.
