Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or 100% pineapple juice)
  • 1/2 cup chilled coconut water (unsweetened)
  • 1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon), plus extra wedges for garnish
  • 6–8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup cold sparkling water (plain or pineapple-flavored)
  • Ice (cubes or crushed)
  • Optional: 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave if you prefer it sweeter
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt for a subtle electrolyte boost

Instructions
 

  • Muddle the mint: In the bottom of a sturdy glass or shaker, add mint leaves and lime juice. Gently muddle 3–4 times to release the oils without shredding the leaves.
  • Blend or mash the pineapple: If using fresh pineapple, pulse in a blender until smooth. If you prefer a pulp-free drink, strain the purée. Using juice? Skip this step.
  • Combine the base: Add pineapple (purée or juice), coconut water, and optional honey/agave to the muddled mint and lime. Stir well to dissolve sweetener.
  • Add ice: Fill your serving glass halfway with ice. If you like it extra cold and frosty, use crushed ice.
  • Top with bubbles: Pour in sparkling water. Give it a gentle stir to keep the fizz.
  • Finish and garnish: Add a pinch of sea salt if using, tuck in a mint sprig, and garnish with a lime wheel or pineapple wedge. Serve immediately.
