Ingredients
For the mocktail:
- 4 cups pineapple peeled and cubed (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or substitute maple syrup or cane sugar
For the rim:
- 1 lemon or lime halved
- 1 tablespoon coconut sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: pinch of chili powder for a spicy twist
Instructions
Frost the glass rim:
- Mix the coconut sugar, salt, and chili powder (if using) on a small plate. Rub the cut side of the lemon around each glass rim, then dip into the mixture. Twist to coat well.
Blend the drink:
- In a high-speed blender, combine the pineapple, ginger, water, and coconut sugar. Blend until smooth.
- Strain (optional):
- For a smoother drink, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher.
Notes
Coconut sugar adds depth and a hint of caramel. Feel free to swap with your preferred sweetener.
If your pineapple is super ripe and sweet, you may want to reduce or skip the sugar—or brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon juice.
Want fizz? Swap some of the water for sparkling water.
Garnish with fresh mint, spearmint, or pineapple wedges for an extra festive touch.
