Hmmm, Pineapple cocktail, whiskey glazed carrots. . . Am I seeing a pattern here? Seriously, both are on my “to make” list.

Yup! I love the booze!
I’ve never heard of using rosemary in a drink before…. very cool! It looks delicious!
I wasnt sure if this would work, it tasted awesome.
What a fantastic combination of flavors, it looks sooooo delicious!!
Thanks the hubbie and I thought so.
Yum! I love pineapple! I would have never thought to mix it with rosemary.
Fabulous combination of flavors – this looks perfect for sipping poolside!
It is to cold for the pool here. maybe in the spring.
LOVE the flavor combinations – definitely want to try this one!
Ooh, sparkling wine and pineapple???? Sound like my kind of cocktail! Delish!
Liz, it really was good!
Really interesting combination! Looks really yummy!
That sounds soooo refreshing!
Love it! Perfect blend of flavors.
Oooh! I’ve never thought about mudding pineapple – I really like it.
Love this give away! Only a catholic lady living in the south would have the guts to give away cocktail tools. I also live in coastal Virginia but grew up outside of Buffalo NY where the population was 90 % catholic and never new people thought cocktails where evil. Would love to win.
Forgot to mention favorite cocktail….something sweet and fruity.
That is one beautiful, refreshing drink, Vonnie! I hope your birthday was as sweet and lovely as you are!
That looks so beautiful! Congrats on getting it on the food photo site too!
Creative drinks are fun!
This is so pretty, I’m really digging this one. It’s gorgeous.
Simple, pretty and delicious sounding. What’s not to love?
Looking at your recipe I know this is a cocktail that I would love. The bubbley-ness of sparkling wine with the ginger ale and pineapple with rosemary (my favorite!) would be so perfect right now! I may have to make one. You know, just so I can say that I tried it. 🙂
