Ingredients (Serves 1)
- ½ cup chilled pineapple juice
- ¼ cup orange juice (fresh or bottled)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pineapple syrup (or sweetener of choice)
- ¼ cup cold sparkling water (or still water for a smoother version)
- Ice cubes
- Optional: mint leaves and pineapple slice for garnish
Instructions
Start by adding the pineapple juice, orange juice, lemon juice, and pineapple syrup into a shaker or mixing glass. Stir or shake well until everything is fully combined. The blend of citrus and pineapple brings a bright, balanced flavor that’s both tart and tropical.
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the juice mixture over the ice, then top it off with sparkling water for a bubbly finish. If you prefer a non-carbonated version, still water works just as well.
