Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: N/A

Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 4

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (about half a medium pineapple)
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (about 5-6 limes)
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, to adjust sweetness)
  • Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh pineapple slices and lime wedges (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a blender, combine the fresh pineapple chunks and freshly squeezed lime juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the tangy aroma of the citrus is released.
  2. Add the cold water to the blender and blend again for a few seconds to combine thoroughly.
  3. For a sweeter drink, add honey or agave syrup and blend until the sweetener is completely dissolved. Taste and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
  4. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove any pulp and ensure a smooth texture.
  5. Serve the Pineapple Lime Juice over ice cubes in chilled glasses, garnished with fresh pineapple slices and lime wedges.
  6. Enjoy the burst of tropical flavors with your family or during a sunny gathering!

Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • For a lighter version, dilute with an additional cup of water or add sparkling water for a fizzy twist.
  • If fresh pineapple is unavailable, canned pineapple chunks (in juice, not syrup) can be used as a substitute.
  • You can freeze pineapple juice into ice cubes and blend them before serving for an extra cold and slushy texture.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for an extra refreshing touch.

Storage and Substitutions:

  • Refrigerate any leftover Pineapple Lime Juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Shake or stir well before serving.
  • Substitute honey with maple syrup for a different flavor profile or if catering to vegans.
  • For a less tangy drink, reduce the amount of lime juice.

Pairings and Complements:

  • Enjoy this drink with light snacks like cheese and crackers or a fresh fruit salad.
  • It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken skewers or veggie wraps for a more substantial meal.
  • For dessert, serve alongside coconut macaroons or a slice of lime cheesecake.
