Pineapple Sage & Passion Fruit Rum Cocktails

June 10, 2014 Leave a Comment

When it finally feels like summer we love to sit outside on the patio and create some fun cocktails.  We don’t get a chance to do this nearly as often as we would like, but when we get a night together (and the kids have long been put to bed) we make the most of it.

A couple weeks ago at the farmers’ market we picked up a pineapple sage plant.  It is loving our garden bed and last night we put it to use in this sweet and delicate cocktail.  An important side note…this plant has an evil twin.  Don’t mistake Texas Sage (also known as Scarlet Sage) with pineapple sage.  The flowers from the Texas Sage will make you quite sick to your stomach…and not from drinking too many of these! You can easily tell the difference by crushing a leaf.  If it smells like pineapple you are safe.  If it smells like grass don’t use it.
