Ingredients
Main Ingredients
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
1/2 cup water
Ice as needed
2 cups ginger beer
Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Pineapple wedges for garnish
Instructions
Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, grated ginger, honey or agave syrup, and water. Blend the mixture until smooth to create the pineapple-ginger base.
Strain Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher or bowl to remove any pulp or ginger fibers, resulting in a smooth liquid for your mocktail.
Prepare Glasses: Fill two glasses with ice cubes to chill and prepare them for serving your mocktail.
Pour Base: Evenly divide and pour the strained pineapple-ginger mixture between the two glasses, filling each about one-third full.
Add Ginger Beer: Top off each glass with ginger beer, adding effervescence and a spicy ginger flavor to complement the pineapple base.
Mix Gently: Stir each glass gently to combine the pineapple-ginger mixture with the ginger beer without losing carbonation.
Garnish and Serve: Decorate each mocktail with fresh mint leaves and pineapple wedges for an appealing presentation, then serve immediately for the best refreshing experience.
Notes
Use fresh ginger for the best flavor, but adjust the quantity to taste if you prefer a milder ginger taste.
Honey can be substituted with agave syrup for a vegan option.
Straining helps create a smooth texture, but if you prefer more pulp, you can skip this step.
Chill the ginger beer beforehand for an extra refreshing drink.
Add a splash of lime juice for a citrusy twist.
For a party-size batch, simply multiply the ingredients accordingly.
