Instructions
Creating the Minty Pineapple Cooler Mocktail is straightforward. Follow these steps for a delicious outcome:
1. Blend Pineapple: In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks and lime juice. Blend until smooth.
2. Strain Mixture: Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the pineapple juice into a large pitcher. Discard any pulp left in the strainer.
3. Muddle Mint: In a separate bowl, add the fresh mint leaves and honey (or agave syrup). Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the mint leaves, releasing their oils and aroma.
4. Combine Ingredients: Add the muddled mint mixture to the pineapple juice in the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
5. Add Sparkling Water: Slowly pour the sparkling water into the pitcher, mixing gently to keep the bubbles intact.
6. Serve Over Ice: Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the Minty Pineapple Cooler over the ice.
7. Garnish: Garnish each glass with additional mint leaves and, if desired, a slice of lime or pineapple for a decorative touch.
