I've been dieing to make pineapple cups for a while and saw them on sale Friday buy-get-one-free. I was off to a good start :)

Unfortunately I had to a bunch of substituting because I did not prepare the way I should have. The drink was tasty but not outstanding with all of the subs (too many to list, *sigh*). However, Who care??!!
We were drinking it out of pineapples cups !!!!

Craig,

Thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. I am loathe to admit that I have yet to use a pineapple as a mug too; how embarrassing.

I can bring some Macadamia Nut Liqueur to tales if you'd like. My Hawaii source is quite helpful for such things.

Anita- I'll make a point to give that thing a try (now that I have your glowing endorsement!).

Mr. BH- I'd LOVE to lay my hands on some Macadamia nut liqueur, but I'm fairly certain there isn't a bottle to be found in all of Pennsylvania.

And there's not enough space here to list all the reasons why special ordering it would be more hassle than it's worth (and probably wouldn't

we have one of those pineapple-gutting gizmos, and it works pretty well. it has the benefit of leaving the pineapple pieces intact, so you can use them for upside-down cake. :)

This is the one we have:

"The Ultimate Garnish". I like it. The United Pineapple Council (or whatever organization is responsible for promoting pineapple sales) should consider adopting that as their new slogan.

I've done the pineapple cup thing twice, and both times, I did roughly what you described. I usually found the core to be the hardest part to get out, and I was excited when I saw that they have a pineapple-coring gadget, but I haven't tried it out yet, either.

I think the taste added is minimal, but it is so cool to drink out of a pineapple. Kind of like the ultimate garnish.
