SWEET SUMMER PINEAPPLE PUNCH

Ready in: 5 MinTotal time: 5 Min

Recipe Courtesy of Nick Mautone, Gramercy Tavern NYC

Ingredients

• 1 ripe pineapple
• 6 to 8 ounces of confectioners' sugar, depending on the sweetness of the pineapple
• 2 cups apricot brandy
• 2 bottles of sparkling wine

Instructions

1. Peel, core, and finely chop the pineapple, place in a bowl, and stir in the sugar until combined. Set aside, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
2. Pour the apricot brandy over the fruit and steep until needed. (The mixture will last approximately 2 weeks in the refrigerator.)
3. When ready to serve, place the pineapple mixture in a punch bowl, and top with the sparkling wine. Stir thoroughly and serve well chilled in champagne glasses.
4. Cocktail Tips:
5. A quart of pineapple juice, poured into a small container and frozen, makes an excellent ice cube for the punch bowl. Make individual servings by filling a champagne glass halfway with the pineapple mixture and topping with sparkling wine. For a nonalcoholic version, use peach or apricot nectar instead of the apricot brandy and replace the sparkling wine with ginger ale.
