This Ananas Cooler cocktail recipe is a light, easy-drinking long cocktail built on tropical fruit character. Oldesloer Ananas’s sweet-tart pineapple base meets lemon’s sharp acidity and ginger ale’s dry bite, going down smooth with a genuinely refreshing finish. With alcohol staying gentle throughout at around 3% ABV, it’s a cocktail that works just as well at midday as it does before a meal.
Recipe & How to Make
Ingredients
Recipe no.039

- “Full” means filling the glass to about 80–90% capacity.
Directions
Add the Oldesloer Ananas and lemon juice to a glass, stir, then add ice.
Fill gently with ginger ale to avoid excess foaming, then stir slowly and lightly. When mixing in carbonated ingredients, one or two slow rotations while raising and lowering the ice is enough to combine everything.

About Ananas Cooler
Characteristics & Flavor
You’d assume ananas means something poetic — turns out it does, but not what most sources claim. The word traces to nanas in Tupi, an Indigenous Brazilian language, meaning excellent fruit. Portuguese explorers picked up the term in South America and ananas was born — still used in Portuguese, French, and parts of Spanish, even as English went its own way with pineapple.
Ananas Cooler is a light, easy-drinking long cocktail built on tropical fruit character. Oldesloer Ananas’s sweet-tart base meets lemon’s sharp acidity and ginger ale’s dry bite, going down smooth with a refreshing finish. Alcohol stays gentle, working equally well at midday or before a meal.
Lemon’s acidity keeps the liqueur’s sweetness from turning flabby, holding a dry edge through the finish. A drier ginger ale sharpens that edge; a sweeter one leans toward dessert territory. A pineapple garnish lifts the aroma — I’d never skip it if fresh pineapple is on hand.
Points, Twists & Best Food Pairings
- Food Pairings — Salty snacks like pretzels or nuts pair well — salt cuts the sweetness and lets the pineapple shine through.
- Points — Common mistake: pouring soda too fast, which flattens the fizz. Pour gently down the ice for a livelier finish.
- Twists — Swap ginger ale for tonic for a drier, more bitter edge, or muddle fresh mint for extra fragrance.
