Tricks of the Trade: Grilling Your Garnish
While you are firing up the grill for those backyard BBQs or family cookouts, get your grill grate or grill pan to medium high heat. Grill pineapple for 2-3 mins each side or until grill marks appear. This method brings out the sweetness of the pineapple and adds a fun smokey element to your cocktail.
