Prep Time and Ingredients

• A handful of fresh mint leaves
• 1 cup of pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 tablespoons of honey (adjust to your sweetness preference)
• 3/4 cup of well-shaken coconut milk
• Ice cubes
• Seltzer water, to taste
• Lime wedges, sprigs of mint, or sliced pineapple for garnish

Cooking Instructions

Begin your tropical journey by gently muddling the mint leaves at the bottom of a cocktail shaker. You don’t need to pulverize them, just break them up a bit to unleash their fragrant oils. Next, pour in the pineapple juice, lime juice, honey, and coconut milk. Toss in a few ice cubes, then shake vigorously until well mixed.

Strain the mixture over a glass filled with ice. To elevate your drink, top it off with a splash of seltzer water for a delightful frothy finish. Don’t forget to garnish the drink! Add a lime wedge, a mint sprig, or a slice of fresh pineapple for that perfect touch. Now, close your eyes and dream of sun-soaked shores as you enjoy your refreshing creation!
