Alfie Cocktail

Pro tips

• Use fresh or premium bottled pineapple juice—avoid overly sweet or concentrate-based versions, which overpower the vodka's lemon notes.
• Chill your glass beforehand to keep the cocktail cold longer and improve mouthfeel.
• Stir ingredients with ice for 10–15 seconds rather than shaking to maintain a silky texture and control dilution.
• Balance is key: if pineapple juice dominates, reduce it slightly or increase vodka to maintain citrus clarity.

Substitutions

• Mr. Boston Lemon Vodka → any premium lemon-infused vodka or regular vodka with fresh lemon juice (adjust ratios)
• Mr. Boston Triple Sec → Cointreau or orange curaçao (use same measure for Cointreau; reduce slightly for darker curaçao)
• Pineapple Juice → passion fruit juice (adds tartness) or mango juice (adds sweetness and body)

What type of pineapple juice works best?

Fresh pineapple juice yields the brightest tropical flavor, but quality bottled juice without added sugar works well too.

Can I batch this cocktail for a party?

Yes, multiply the ingredients and store in a pitcher up to 2 hours before serving; add ice and stir just before pouring.

What glassware should I use?
