Pineapple Palomas are a sweet, refreshing twist on the original. Enjoy them by the glass or make a pitcher to share….either way, they’re the perfect drink for summer!
It’s 4th of July weekend! And…..you guessed it……I have another cocktail to share with you! Does it seem like I’ve been sharing a lot of drink recipes lately? Well, I have. Because it’s summer! And there’s nothing I love more about summer than enjoying a refreshing drink with friends. Especially on a holiday weekend!
This drink is one of my summer favorites. Pineapple juice, tequila, a twist of citrus…..it’s like summer in a glass. Does it get any better?
I plan to enjoy a few of these on the 4th. After the parade. Before the fireworks. With some guacamole! Sounds pretty perfect, don’t you think?
What about you? What are your 4th of July plans? Do you have any set traditions? A specific menu? A signature drink? I’d love to hear about it! And, whatever you do, I hope your day is relaxing, fun, and full of Pineapple Palomas! Happy 4th, my friends!

So my favorite drink in Hawaii is a what I’m calling a Coconut Rum Punch – made with coconut rum and pineapple. So I know I’ll love this!! Pineapple juice is my new BFF. Happy 4th Cathy!
