　　Just in time for Derby Day, this dessert has fewer calories than a mint julep (and you can drive home afterward).

　　

Ingredients

2 tablespoons bourbon or blended whiskey

　　1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint plus 2 tablespoons whole small fresh mint leaves

　　1 tablespoon sugar

　　1 medium pineapple (2 lb; labeled "extra sweet")

　　

Step 1

Stir together bourbon, chopped mint, and sugar in a small bowl. Let stand 20 minutes (to allow flavors to develop).

　　

Step 2

Meanwhile, trim, peel, quarter, and core pineapple, then cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices and transfer to a bowl. Pour bourbon mixture through a sieve onto pineapple. Add whole mint leaves and gently toss to combine.
