When preparing your Zesty Spiced Pineapple Cooler, feel free to adjust the level of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference. For a sweeter touch, you can add a splash of coconut syrup or honey. This cooler also works beautifully as a mocktail; simply omit the alcohol and enjoy the refreshing flavors.
