Helpful Housewife Hint Of The Day:
A helpful hack for pineapple cocktails is to use frozen pineapple chunks instead of ice.
This not only chills your drink without diluting it but also adds a burst of extra pineapple flavor.
Simply freeze fresh pineapple chunks and use them in place of ice cubes in your cocktail shaker or glass.
This trick enhances the taste and keeps your drink refreshingly cool.
