Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) fresh pineapple juice (freshly pressed or high-quality store-bought, no added sugar)
- ½ cup (120 ml) canned coconut milk (full-fat recommended, shake well before using)
- 1½ cups (360 ml) sparkling water (plain or lightly flavored)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Ice cubes (as needed for serving)
- Fresh mint leaves (a few sprigs, optional for garnish)
- Pineapple wedges or coconut flakes (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Chill the pineapple juice, coconut milk, and sparkling water for about 10 minutes before starting.
- In a pitcher, combine 1 cup pineapple juice with 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice and stir gently.
- Slowly pour in ½ cup canned coconut milk and whisk or stir gently to create a smooth, creamy base without lumps.
- If desired, add 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup and stir to dissolve completely.
- Fill serving glasses halfway with ice cubes.
- Just before serving, slowly add 1½ cups sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently once to mix without losing fizz.
- Pour the drink into glasses over the ice and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and pineapple wedges or coconut flakes.
Notes
Use full-fat canned coconut milk for creaminess and shake well before using. Stir gently to avoid lumps and preserve fizz. Keep sparkling water chilled and add it last to maintain bubbles. Adjust sweetness to taste; pineapple juice may be naturally sweet enough. Prepare base ahead and add sparkling water and ice just before serving for best fizz.
