Notes
Substitutes:
- Aguardiente: If you don't have Aguardiente, I've used white rum as a substitute, which works well and keeps the tropical vibe. Vodka can also be an option for a more neutral flavor.
- Pineapple Juice: Freshly squeezed pineapple juice tastes amazing, but canned works in a pinch. Try mango juice for a unique flavor profile if you want a different twist.
- Soda Water: Club soda or sparkling water can replace soda water without any noticeable difference.
Making a Pitcher of Pineapple and Aguardiente Cooler:
- Scale: To make a pitcher that serves 8, multiply all the ingredients by 8. That would be 16 oz of Aguardiente Antioqueño, 32 oz of pineapple juice, and 16 oz of soda water.
- Mix: In a large pitcher, combine the Aguardiente and the pineapple juice.
- Serve: Pour the mixture into individual ice-filled highball glasses, top them with soda water, garnish with a pineapple slice or mint sprig, and serve immediately.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Aguardiente Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics the flavor of Aguardiente; these are available and do a good job replicating the taste.
- Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of Aguardiente, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
