Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple peeled and cubed
- 3 cups cold filtered water
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar adjust to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh calamansi or lime juice
- A tiny pinch of salt to enhance sweetness
- 2 cups of crushed ice
- Extra pineapple slices for garnish
- Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color
Instructions
Prepare the Fresh Pineapple
- Start by peeling your fresh pineapple and removing the "eyes." Cut the fruit into small, manageable cubes. Using fresh fruit gives the drink a much better aroma than canned juice.
Blend the Fruit and Water
- Place the pineapple cubes into your blender. Add two cups of cold filtered water to the jar. Blend on high speed for about sixty seconds until the mixture is very smooth.
Strain the Pineapple Pulp
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Use a spoon to press the pulp down. This step ensures your drink is silky and easy to sip.
Sweeten the Quencher
- Add the granulated sugar and the remaining cup of water to the pitcher. Stir vigorously until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste it to see if you want it sweeter.
Add the Citrus Kick
- Squeeze in the fresh calamansi or lime juice. This acidity is the secret to cutting through the sugar. It gives the drink that famous "quencher" zing that we all love.
Incorporate the Ice
- Add the crushed ice directly into the pitcher or into individual glasses. Stir the mixture one last time to make sure the entire drink is ice-cold before serving.
Garnish and Serve
- Pour the yellow liquid into tall glasses filled with more ice. Decorate each glass with a pineapple wedge and a mint leaf. Serve immediately while the drink is frothy and cold.
Notes
- Use ripe fruit: The sweeter your pineapple is, the less sugar you will need to add.
- Fizzy version: Replace one cup of water with sparkling water or club soda for bubbles.
- Canned shortcut: If you cannot find fresh fruit, use high-quality canned pineapple juice instead.
- Honey substitute: Use honey or agave nectar instead of white sugar for a different flavor.
- Creamy twist: Add a splash of coconut milk to turn this into a virgin Piña Colada.
