Fun fact…I have a huge crush on pineapples.

That being said, I am constantly in search of non-cheesy ways to infuse them into my life, enter The Pineapple Co. via W&P Design. I originally discoverd this siiiiiick pineapple tumbler at a friends house, and couldn’t get it out of my head.

These magnificent brass beauties make the perfect accessory for your bar cart, bookshelf, dining table and beyond — oh and I guess they make great gifts too!

Here is a fun hand-crafted cocktail recipe to help you break in your new brass wear, because lets face it…its 5 O’clock somewhere.

Basil Julep

• ¼ cup water
• ¼ cup sugar
• 8 large basil leaves
• 4 ounces whiskey
• 2 ounces water
• Crushed ice

1. To a small saucepan add the water and sugar over medium heat.
2. Heat until the sugar dissolves, stirring often. Remove and allow to cool. This is the simple syrup.
3. To a cocktail shaker add the cooled simple syrup and 6 basil leaves.
4. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, muddle (crush) the basil into the syrup.
5. Add the whiskey and water,fill with ice and stir.
6. Add the straining top to the shaker and strain into a short glass.
7. Garnish with 2 basil leaves.
