    This refreshing pineapple cocktail will probably become you new favorite warm-weather sip. Fresh pineapple, a sprig of rosemary, ginger ale and sparkling wine are definitely better together.

    Pineapple Rosemary Crush Cocktails are incredibly delicious. I know you're questioning the fresh rosemary in the cocktail. You might even be questioning the rosemary with the pineapple. Trust me on this. It's a good idea.

    Listen - this might be the best fresh pineapple cocktail you've ever had.

    A pineapple cocktail gets its 15 minutes:

    How to make Pineapple Rosemary Crush Cocktails

    Actually, you don't have to believe just me. My friend Hillori and I made these on live TV for a gluten-free segment for Whole Foods, and the host Alex Delgado was falling out about how fabulous they are. So you can believe Alex too. There's even photographic proof.  Look how happy we are, drinking alcohol on TV!

    Choosing pineapple for cocktails: fresh is best.

    So, let's talk pineapple. I've been obsessed with white pineapples since I visited Kauai (you can eat the core!) So, if I'm feeling tropical, sometimes I order them direct from the farmers at Kauai Sugarloaf.  If you're a full-on pineapple lover like me, you should treat yourself to a couple once in awhile! When I'm not feeling fancy (or I can't wait for delivery) I use fresh chunks from the store. The chunks I get at the grocery store are a little big for muddling, so I cut them in half first. I've also made this with really good canned pineapple chunks - but it wasn't quite as fabulous. Although still totally drinkable. Live and learn!

    Cocktail tools to look (and mix) like a Pro:

    I also suggest getting a decent muddler if you don't have one. You can get a decent one for under $10, and I find myself reaching for it all the time - more than just for cocktails. Although I'm all in on a good mojito too. If you don't have one and don't want one more kitchen gadget, a long spoon or the fat end of two chopsticks will work.

    OK, now you're ready to whip up a few Pineapple Rosemary Crush Cocktails! If you snap a photo before you drink them up, tag me @gfreefoodie on Instagram with your shots.

    Grilled Pineapple Salsa

    Wondering what to serve with these Fresh Pineapple Cocktails?

    Might I suggest some chips and a batch of Grilled Pineapple Ginger Salsa to go with you drinks? That salsa is a BFF for fish tacos too.

    And if you're into pink drinks (or tequila, or both) give my Pomegranate Pineapple Margarita recipe a try.
