Step Six (Picture 6 above) - Serve in your favorite cocktail glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
Garnishes
Here are a few suggestions (all optional):
- Extra fresh mint leaves create a beautiful contrast.
- Pineapple wedges or pineapple slices decorate the rim of the glass.
- Ice cubes or crushed ice. If you use them, add only one ice cube per glass. I prefer to cool the sparkling water and coconut water beforehand instead and serve these virgin drinks without ice.
- Added sugar: Add a sprinkle of extra coconut sugar on top or coat the rim, if preferred.
Can I Make This in Advance?
- Yes, you can, but not the entire drink.
- Blend the pineapple chunks, mint, lime juice, and coconut water.
- Place in a large mason jar that can be sealed or in an airtight container.
- Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
- When ready, pour in the cold sparkling water and stir in the coconut sugar.
- Then, serve and add your favorite garnishes.
Helpful Tips
- Store any leftover pineapple uncut in the warmest part of the fridge (usually the top). It stays well for up to 7 days, and you can use it to make a Creamy Pineapple Cucumber Smoothie or this Chocolate Pineapple Collagen Smoothie.
- Or peel, cut, and freeze this tropical fruit for longer storage.
- Always refrigerate the sparkling water and coconut water ahead of time before making this pineapple mocktail.
- I stir in just a tad of coconut sugar to add sweetness and balance out the minty flavors.
- Always taste test and add more sugar if you prefer a sweeter drink.
