Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
- First, gather all your ingredients. For the best flavor and nutritional benefits, I recommend using fresh coconut water and pineapple juice.
Step 2: Juice the Pineapple
- If you’re using fresh pineapple, start peeling and cutting it into chunks. Blend the pineapple chunks until smooth. Pour the blended pineapple through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to extract the juice. You should get about 1 cup of fresh pineapple juice.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large pitcher, combine the fresh coconut water and pineapple juice. If you like a bit of extra zing, add 1 tablespoon of lime juice. This step is optional but adds a delightful tang to the drink.
Step 4: Serve
- Fill your glasses with ice cubes. Pour the coconut water and pineapple juice mixture over the ice. Stir gently to combine.
Step 5: Garnish
- Garnish your drink with a slice of pineapple and a sprig of mint. This makes the drink look beautiful and adds an extra touch of freshness.
Notes
Always consume the drink fresh to enjoy its maximum nutritional benefits and flavor. If you need to store it, keep it in the refrigerator and consume it within 24 hours. Give it a good stir before serving.
