Description
A refreshing tropical drink made with fresh pineapple, lime, and water for a burst of summer flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh pineapple, chopped
- 4 cups water
- 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the chopped pineapple and water in a blender. Blend until smooth—about 30-45 seconds will do the trick.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher. This step removes any pulp, ensuring the drink is delightfully smooth.
- Stir in the sugar and freshly squeezed lime juice. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved completely, adjusting the sweetness to your personal preference.
- Serve the vibrant drink over ice in chilled glasses. If you desire, garnish with fresh mint leaves to add a pop of color and refreshing aroma.
Notes
Make-ahead Tip: Prepare the pineapple and water mixture the day before to retain the freshest taste. Also, use ripe pineapple for the best flavor.
