Pineapple Mint Spitzer
March is Women Empowerment Month, so to celebrate I created a new mint flavored cocktail and creating the Mini Women EmpowerMint Bevvie Series :) This drink was actually inspired by a pineapple tattoo I have, believe it or not. Years ago I saw a quote which read, "Ladies, be a pineapple. Stand tall, be sweet, and wear a crown." I absolutely loved that and it stuck with me for so long I ended up getting a pineapple tattoo on my left heel to remind me everyday. Knowing I wanted to use pineapple juice in this empowermint cocktail, I knew I had to incorporate the leaves into a crown garnish. If you make this drink, it's obviously optional, but I hope one day this drink shows up at a Galentine's Day brunch, a bachelorette party or bridal shower, or maybe just two girlfriends sipping on them together on a Sunday as they do life together crowns and all. However, a mint sprig is another great/easier option for a garnish.

Love the quote! Will give this a try. Just purchased a couple of pineapples yesterday. Not yet ripe, and when they are, will mix up a few to sample. Thanks.
