Scale
Drink Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup sparkling water or soda water
- 6–8 fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes
Garnish
- Pineapple wedge for garnish
- Lime slices for garnish
- Mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Muddle Mint and Lime: Add the fresh mint leaves and lime juice to a shaker or mixing glass and gently muddle the mint to release its aroma, ensuring the flavors infuse well into the liquid.
- Add Juice and Sweetener: Pour in the pineapple juice and coconut milk. Add honey or simple syrup if additional sweetness is desired, adjusting to taste.
- Shake with Ice: Add a handful of ice cubes and shake well until the mixture becomes chilled and slightly creamy, blending the ingredients smoothly.
- Strain into Glass: Strain the mixture into a serving glass filled with fresh ice to keep the drink cold without diluting it prematurely.
- Add Sparkling Water: Top the drink with sparkling water or soda water and gently stir to combine, preserving the refreshing fizz.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a pineapple wedge, lime slice, and a sprig of mint. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or simple syrup according to your taste preference.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for a creamier texture or light coconut milk for a lighter drink.
- For a non-alcoholic version, this recipe already suits as a mocktail, but you can add a splash of rum if desired for an alcoholic twist.
- To make it extra refreshing, chill all the ingredients beforehand.
- Mint should be muddled gently to avoid bitterness from bruising the leaves too much.
