A WC Pineapple Punch combines wc pineapple, triple sec, and aperol in a tart, gently bitter and refreshing paloma-style cocktail. Make one with the recipe below; when you need a full service rather than a single glass, the keg build scales the same idea without scaling the prep.
How to make a WC Pineapple Punch

- 1 1/2 oz Liqueur
- 1 1/2 oz WC Pineapple
- 1/4 oz Triple Sec

- 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice
- 1/4 oz agave syrup, to taste
- 2 oz grapefruit soda or club soda
Method
- Add the measured still ingredients and citrus to a shaker with ice.
- Shake for 10 seconds, then strain over fresh ice in a highball glass.
- Top with grapefruit soda or club soda, stir once and garnish.
- Taste
- tart, gently bitter and refreshing

Conventional recipe adapted from the Draftology keg specification by Craft Standard.
Substitutions
- Use grapefruit soda instead of fresh juice and club soda for a sweeter, quicker Paloma.
Make a pitcher
- 12 oz Liqueur
- 12 oz WC Pineapple
- 2 oz Triple Sec
- 2 oz Aperol
- 16 oz (2 cups) fresh grapefruit juice
- 4 oz fresh lime juice
- 2 oz agave syrup, to taste
- 16 oz (2 cups) grapefruit soda or club soda
For a pitcher of eight, multiply every still ingredient by eight and chill the mix before service. Add soda, ginger beer or any other sparkling ingredient to each glass just before serving; batching carbonation early makes the drink go flat.
Want to make it at scale?
Making one WC Pineapple Punch is straightforward. Making a full service means measuring, chilling and repeating that spec all night. The Craft Standard Paloma keg keeps the same flavor direction, but moves the prep into one keg build so every serve comes from the tap.
