Description

This Pineapple Ginger Mocktail is a refreshing blend of fresh pineapple juice, zesty ginger, and tangy lime, sweetened to taste and topped with sparkling water. Perfect for any occasion, it’s a delightful non-alcoholic drink that’s easy to prepare and sure to impress!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups sparkling water or club soda
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut a fresh pineapple into quarters, remove the core and skin, and chop the flesh into smaller pieces. Blend the pineapple pieces until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl or pitcher to yield about 1 cup of fresh pineapple juice.
  2. Peel a piece of fresh ginger root and grate it until you have about 1 tablespoon.
  3. Cut a fresh lime in half and squeeze out the juice to obtain about 2 tablespoons.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
  5. In a large pitcher, mix the fresh pineapple juice with the ginger-lime mixture. Stir well.
  6. Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water or club soda and gently stir to combine.
  7. Taste the mixture and add more honey or agave syrup if desired, stirring until fully incorporated.
  8. Fill your favorite glasses with ice cubes.
  9. Pour the pineapple ginger mixture over the ice, filling each glass about three-quarters full.
  10. Garnish each glass with a slice of fresh pineapple, a few mint leaves, and a lime wedge.
  11. Serve immediately while bubbly and cold, optionally adding a colorful straw.

Notes

  • Store any leftover mocktail mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator, but consume within a day for best fizz. Keep sparkling water separate until serving.
  • Experiment with other fruits like mango or passion fruit, or add herbs like basil or rosemary for a unique twist.
