Pineapple Coconut No-Jito

Transport yourself to a tropical paradise with this refreshing mocktail! Sweet pineapple juice and hydrating coconut water come together with zesty lime and muddled mint for a light and breezy drink that’s perfect for any time of year. Served over crushed ice, it’s a sunny escape in every sip, making it an ideal choice for sipping poolside—or dreaming of warmer days! If you prefer a fizzier drink, replace half the coconut water with sparkling water or club soda.

Ingredients (serves 1):

• 3 oz pineapple juice (chilled)
• 2 oz coconut water (chilled)
• 1/2 oz freshly squeezed lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
• 6–8 fresh mint leaves, plus extra for garnish
• 1 tsp honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
• Crushed ice
• Lime wedge and pineapple slice (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. In a sturdy glass, add the mint leaves and lime juice. Muddle gently with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release the mint's aroma.
2. If desired, stir in the honey or agave syrup until dissolved.
3. Add the pineapple juice and coconut water to the glass. Stir well to combine.
4. Fill the glass with crushed ice and give the drink a gentle stir.
5. Garnish with a lime wedge, a pineapple slice, and a sprig of fresh mint.
