PINEAPPLE MOCKTAIL : PIÑA COLADA WITHOUT ALCOHOL

Here is a simple and delicious recipe for a pineapple mocktail. This non-alcoholic cocktail is refreshing and perfect for a hot day or a special occasion.

INGREDIENTS

• 800 ml of fresh pineapple juice (or bottled pineapple juice, preferably without added sugar)
• 400 ml of lemonade or lemon soda (for a sparkling touch)
• 4 tablespoons of grenadine syrup (optional, for sweetness and color)
• 4 tablespoons of mint syrup or a few fresh mint leaves (optional, for a refreshing flavor)
• Ice cubes (enough for 4 glasses)
• 4 slices of fresh pineapple (for garnish)
• A few fresh mint leaves for garnish

DETAILED PREPARATION METHOD

1. PREPARE YOUR EQUIPMENT AND INGREDIENTS

• Choose a large pitcher or bowl for mixing the ingredients. You’ll also need 4 tall glasses for serving the mocktails.
• Cut the fresh pineapple into thin slices. Set aside 4 slices for garnish. You can also cut more fruit if you’d like to add pineapple chunks to your glasses.
• Wash a few mint leaves for garnish.

2. CHILL THE GLASSES

• Fill the 4 glasses with ice cubes. This will help keep your mocktails cold longer. You can also place the glasses in the fridge for a few minutes before filling them if you prefer super-chilled glasses.

3. MIX THE LIQUID INGREDIENTS

• In the pitcher, pour in the 800 ml of fresh pineapple juice. Pineapple juice is the base of your mocktail, so ensure it is chilled for the best result.
• Add 400 ml of lemonade or lemon soda for a sparkling and refreshing twist.
• If you like a sweeter taste and a lovely red color, pour in 4 tablespoons of grenadine syrup. This will add sweetness and a nice hue.
• For a fresh minty flavor, add 4 tablespoons of mint syrup or a few fresh mint leaves. If using mint leaves, gently bruise them with the back of a spoon to release their aroma before adding them to the mix.

4. STIR THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER

• Mix all the ingredients well in the pitcher using a long spoon or a whisk. If you used mint leaves, make sure they’re well incorporated so the drink absorbs their flavor. You can also use a cocktail shaker for better mixing, but a pitcher or large glass will work just fine.

5. POUR THE MIXTURE INTO THE GLASSES

• Once everything is well mixed, pour the mixture evenly into the 4 glasses filled with ice cubes. Make sure each glass gets the same amount of mocktail.

6. GARNISH THE PINEAPPLE MOCKTAIL

   Place a slice of fresh pineapple on the rim of each glass. This will not only look beautiful but also add a fruity touch when drinking.

• For extra decoration, add one or two fresh mint leaves to each glass. You can gently float them on top for a more aesthetic effect.

7. SERVE THE PINEAPPLE MOCKTAIL IMMEDIATELY

• Serve your pineapple mocktail right away to enjoy its freshness and sparkle. You can add straws or cocktail stirrers for an extra touch of fun.

EXTRA TIPS FOR PINEAPPLE MOCKTAIL

• If you want a creamier version, you can replace part of the lemonade with coconut milk or yogurt.
• For a more exotic taste, add a few chunks of mango or passion fruit to the mix for an even more tropical flavor.
• Feel free to adjust the amount of grenadine or mint syrup according to your taste preferences.

Enjoy your refreshing and sweet pineapple mocktail
