Tropical Fruity

The Grass Skirt is a tropical gin cocktail combining gin, triple sec, pineapple juice, and grenadine, served in an old-fashioned glass garnished with pineapple. The tropical pineapple juice and sweet triple sec provide a fruity contrast to the gin's botanicals, while the grenadine adds a warm blush of color and pomegranate sweetness. It is a moderately strong, fruit-forward cocktail.

History & Origins

The Grass Skirt takes its name from the traditional hula skirt associated with Hawaiian and Polynesian culture and reflects the mid-20th-century American tiki and Hawaiian cocktail fashion. It belongs to a category of gin-tropical fruit cocktails that emerged during the tiki era's influence on mainstream bartending. Its precise origin is disputed and unattributed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: fresh pineapple tropical sweetness, gin juniper botanicals, orange from the triple sec, and a faint floral grenadine note. Palate: sweet and tropical with pineapple dominating, balanced by the gin's herbal backbone and the orange liqueur's citrus sweetness. Finish: fruity, moderately sweet, and botanical with a lingering tropical fruit note.

Pro Tip

Shake with plenty of ice to achieve a well-chilled drink and strain into a fresh-iced glass — garnish with a fresh pineapple slice placed on the rim for the classic tropical presentation.
