Sweet fresh pineapple is paired with fresh mint and sparkling water in this sparkling pineapple juice.
During summer the best drinks are full of flavor and just plain refreshing. I first fell in love with the idea of a pairing pineapple with mint when I did the BluePrint Cleanse. Their juice was so good that I had to recreate a version of it at home. The sweet yet acidic taste of fresh pineapple combines perfectly with the fizzy bubbles of sparkling water. Add a touch of fresh mint and it becomes something uniquely refreshing.
When it’s hot outside nothing quenches your thirst quite like a glass of pineapple mint juice. This juice makes your mouth tingle it’s so refreshing. Want to make an adult version? Add a little vodka or rum and garnish with pineapple spears.
