The Pineapple Heatwave | Summer’s Heating Up with this Mixed-Drink!
The Pineapple Heatwave | Summer’s Best Mixed-Drink! Spicy. Sweet. Radical!
Radius brings the heat, literally, with a tropical cocktail that captures the bold flavors of their summer menu and the high-energy vibe of downtown Valpo’s favorite patio dining spot. Introducing for summer, the Radius Pineapple Heatwave!
The Pineapple Heatwave blends pineapple vodka, simple syrup, and fresh jalapeños for a spicy-sweet kick, then smooths it out with pineapple juice. The twist? It’s topped with sauvignon blanc, adding a crisp, citrusy finish that keeps it light, lively, and totally sip-worthy.
