Pineapple Ginger Fizz Drink (Printable Version)

A bright, sparkling pineapple and ginger drink featuring fresh citrus and a zesty twist.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruit Base

01 - 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
02 - 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
03 - 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated

# Directions:

01 - In a blender, combine pineapple chunks, lime juice, grated ginger, and honey. Blend until completely smooth.
02 - Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove pulp, pressing gently to extract maximum liquid.
03 - Add chilled sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.

05 - Garnish each glass with pineapple wedges, lime slices, and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes complex and impressive but requires zero cooking skills or special equipment beyond a blender.
  • You can make the base ahead of time and add sparkle right before guests arrive, so you're not scrambling at party time.
  • The ginger gives you that satisfying warmth without any heaviness, making it perfect for people who usually skip sugary drinks.
02 -
  • If you add the sparkling water too far in advance, you'll end up serving something flat and disappointing—this drink is all about that fizz, so patience until the last moment is worth it.
  • Overripe pineapples produce a sweeter base, which means you might need less sweetener than the recipe calls for, so taste as you build rather than assuming two tablespoons is always correct.
03 -
  • Freeze pineapple chunks in advance and use them instead of ice—as they melt, they intensify the pineapple flavor instead of watering it down.
  • If you forget to chill your sparkling water, a few minutes in the freezer works in a pinch, but avoid ice cubes made from it because they melt and dilute the drink.
