Pineapple Gin Cocktails — Data-Backed Ranking

9 Gin cocktails deliver a pineapple flavour profile in this data, led by Gin Squirt and Grass Skirt.

Pineapple and gin work well together because the spirit acts as a carrier — it does not fight the flavor, it extends it. The drinks here either feature pineapple as the dominant note or use it as a counterpoint to the spirit's own character.
