Pineapple juice
Juice & mixers · usually a base spirit · in 3 cocktails here
What it is
Juice, not crushed fruit. Shaking it hard is what creates the foam on drinks like the French Martini.
Typically about £3 a bottle in the UK.
What it tastes like
Sweet and sharp at once, with a tannic edge that keeps it from cloying. Shaken hard it foams.
What it does in a drink
Lengthener and texturiser — the only common juice that produces a proper foam when shaken hard.
