TUACA PINEAPPLE

TUACA PINEAPPLE COCKTAIL

1½ ounce TUACA Vanilla Citrus Liqueur
4 ounces pineapple juice

I’d never heard of TUACA Vanilla Citrus Liqueur before my friend Dana dropped it in my lap. She supplements her income every October entering Halloween costume contests. Her creativity and willingness to suffer for her art has her winning first place at lots of places, and it usually nets her a sizable haul. This year, she won the TUACA, then promptly handed it over to me since she only drinks beer and wine.

Dana, you missed out. I made myself the very simple, but very delectable, TUACA PINEAPPLE COCKTAIL tonight by combining the liqueur with pineapple juice and serving it over ice — and I loved it. TUACA is an Italian liqueur made in Kentucky. According to the bottle, the recipe for TUACA was created for Lorenzo the Magnificent of Livorno, Italy. Whoever he was, he had magnificent taste in liqueur. TUACA has a wonderful dark vanilla smell and a smooth, but slightly bold, taste. The vanilla flavor is strong and enticing. It went great with pineapple juice. You can mix TUACA with cranberry juice for a TUACA Cranberry. I also hear that TUACA chilled makes great shots. No costume needed.
