Are you ready to quench your thirst with a delicious spicy pineapple mocktail? A non-alcoholic beverage low in calories, kid-friendly, and way healthier than your store-bought alternatives, such as Ranch water. Let's learn how to whip it up in less than five minutes and discover the incredible ingredients it contains.
If you have been following me for the past few months, you will know that I've decided to significantly reduce my alcohol intake (here is a post on my Dry January challenge). The reasons for these are in part related to the fertility journey I am currently on and, more in general, to improve my overall health and mental sharpness. However, as we all know, there is nothing better than a nice, refreshing cocktail on a summer evening!
This is why I had to come up with healthy, alcohol-free alternatives to my favorite cocktails - or what many of us call "mocktails". Some weeks ago, I shared the recipe for my refined sugar-free Hibiscus Margarita Mocktail. Today, it is the turn of another delicious, yet super wholesome recipe: a spicy Jalapeño pineapple mocktail that reminds me of exotic beaches and lush palm trees!
This recipe is extremely easy to follow and requires only 5 basic ingredients: canned pineapple (better if stored in natural juice), coconut sugar, club soda (I usually make it at home using this super aesthetic Soda Streaming Carbonator), the juice of two limes, and one jalapeno (or habanero) pepper for a spicy touch! You can substitute the pepper with some ground cinnamon for a kid-friendly drink! Optional, but highly recommended, is some tajin (a Mexican seasoning blend containing chili peppers, salt, and dehydrated lime). I love to use it to garnish the rim of my glasses and add some extra spiciness to the pineapple juice mocktail!
As you can see, these are all pretty healthy and easily available ingredients, some of which have also remarkable detoxifying properties. Let's have a closer look at some of them.
Now you know all the secrets about the beneficial ingredients I used in this pineapple mocktail recipe. Let's then have a look at some tips for making a sensational non-alcoholic cocktail!
