Pineapple Maui Mule Recipe

By: Lexy Biller, Bartender, Crane Ramen, Gainesville, Florida.

Recipe:

  • 1 egg white
  • 3/4 ounce pineapple-sage shrub (see recipe below)
  • 3/4 ounce St. Germain elderflower liqueur
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 1/2 ounces Reyka vodka
  • Barritt’s ginger beer

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients except the ginger beer into a shaker.
  2. Double shake and fill the mule mub with ice.
  3. Strain and top with ginger beer

Garnish:

A pineapple leaf.

Pineapple-Sage Shrub:

In a saucepan combine one cup of pineapple juice with two sage leaves and 3/4 of a cup of apple cider vinegar with 3/4 of a cup of sugar. Let the sugar dissolve, and then cool.

Inspiration:

As a bartender I have recently been exploring using egg whites in my cocktails — I just love the texture the fluffy whites bring. So I thought incorporating that along side the bold flavors of pineapple – plus the floral component of the elderflower liqueur – would pair super well and come together for a nice a play on a Moscow mule.
