The Coconut Pineapple Mule was inspired by the timeless Moscow Mule, which first gained popularity in the 1940s. While the original combined vodka, lime, and ginger beer, tropical variations began popping up in beach bars from Miami to Maui. This cocktail brings a splash of the islands to the Mule tradition, marrying coconut and pineapple—two flavors synonymous with tropical paradise. It’s the lovechild of tiki culture and classic mixology, perfect for summer parties or whenever you need a little sunshine.
Garnish with a wedge of pineapple, a sprig of mint, and a lime wheel. These not only add visual appeal but also enhance the aroma and experience of each sip.
