Print Recipe

A refreshing, low-calorie tropical mocktail combining fresh pineapple juice and unsweetened coconut water with a hint of lime and mint, perfect for warm weather and any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh pineapple juice (freshly squeezed or store-bought, no added sugar)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened coconut water
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons / 30 ml)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave nectar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 6–8 fresh mint leaves
  • Ice cubes or crushed ice
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Sparkling water (optional, to top off)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pineapple juice: Peel and core about half a medium pineapple, chop into chunks, and juice using a juicer (about 1 cup / 240 ml). Alternatively, blend pineapple chunks until smooth and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp. This takes about 10 minutes.
  2. Juice the lime: Cut 1 fresh lime in half and juice it using a citrus juicer or by hand, removing seeds. You want roughly 2 tablespoons (30 ml).
  3. Muddle the mint: In a mixing glass or pitcher, add 6-8 fresh mint leaves. Use a muddler or spoon to gently press and twist the leaves to release oils without shredding them, about 20-30 seconds.
  4. Combine ingredients: Pour pineapple juice, coconut water, and lime juice into the mixing glass with the muddled mint. Stir gently to blend flavors. Taste and add 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave nectar if more sweetness is desired, stirring until dissolved.
  5. Add ice and serve: Fill serving glasses with crushed ice or ice cubes. Pour the mocktail over the ice. Optionally, top off with a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a thin lime wheel.

Notes

Use fresh pineapple juice for best flavor. Gently muddle mint to avoid bitterness. Adjust sweetness after tasting. Chill glasses ahead for extra refreshment. For a frosty texture, blend with ice for a slush. Add sparkling water just before serving for fizz.
