Reasons You’ll Want to Make This

I love a good whiskey cocktail, especially one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. This one hits that perfect balance of sweet and tangy, with the smoothness of whiskey mellowed by pineapple and citrus. It’s refreshing, simple, and perfect for backyard gatherings, weekend cocktails, or just pretending you’re on vacation.

The best part? You don’t need a long ingredient list or fancy equipment; just a shaker, ice, and a few pantry staples. This Hawaiian Stone Sour recipe is as easy as it gets.

What You’ll Need To Make It

Full ingredients and instructions are in the recipe card below, but here is a quick summary.

You’ll need whiskey (I usually go with bourbon), pineapple juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. That’s it!

The pineapple gives this stone sour drink a smooth tropical twist, while the lemon keeps it bright and balanced. The simple syrup ties it all together without making it too sweet.

How to Make Hawaiian Stone Sour

Full ingredients and instructions are in the recipe card below, but here is a quick summary.

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add whiskey, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup. Shake until it’s icy cold, then strain into a glass filled with fresh ice.

Garnish with a pineapple wedge or cherry if you’re feeling fancy. That’s it! You’ve just made a Hawaiian sour that tastes like vacation in a glass.

Substitutions and Variations

There’s plenty of room to make this your own with any of the following customizations or modifications.
• Swap bourbon for a deeper, richer flavor.
• Add a splash of orange juice for extra fruitiness.
• Use honey syrup instead of simple syrup for a softer sweetness.
• Top with club soda for a lighter, fizzy version.

I’ve tested this cocktail plenty of times (for research, of course). The key is balance: Too much pineapple and you lose the whiskey, too much lemon and it gets sharp.

Stick close to equal parts juice and whiskey, and always shake with plenty of ice. The colder it gets, the smoother it tastes.
