A tropical getaway in a jar: pineapple chunks soaked in piña colada moonshine.
What it is
Ole Smoky Pineapples with Piña Colada combines pineapple pieces with a coconut-and-pineapple flavored moonshine bottled at 40 proof (20% ABV). The fruit soaks up the spirit for a sweet, boozy snack, while the liquid brings classic piña colada flavor. Ole Smoky Distillery opened in 2010 in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, at the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains, and helped bring legal, small-batch moonshine to a wide audience. It is a fun, low-proof option for poolside drinks.
