Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
• 4 cups cold water
• Juice of 2 limes
• Ice cubes
• Mint sprigs and pineapple slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Begin by placing the fresh pineapple chunks in a blender. Pulse until the pineapple is finely crushed, releasing its sweet and tangy juices.
2. In a large pitcher, add the crushed pineapple and its juice along with the fresh mint leaves. Gently muddle the mixture with a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon to bruise the mint leaves, releasing their refreshing aroma.
3. Pour in the cold water and fresh lime juice, stirring well to combine all the flavors. The citrusy tang of the lime will perfectly balance the sweetness of the pineapple.
4. Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the infusion. Stir once more, ensuring the drink is evenly mixed and perfectly cooled.
5. Serve the Pineapple Mint Infusion in glasses, garnished with mint sprigs and pineapple slices for an extra touch of elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations

• If fresh pineapple is unavailable, you can substitute with canned pineapple chunks. Just be sure to choose pineapple in its natural juice, not syrup.
• For an extra chilly refreshment, serve in a pre-chilled glass.
• This drink is perfect for picnics and summer parties. Just double or triple the recipe accordingly.

Storage and Substitutions

Refrigerate any leftover Pineapple Mint Infusion in an airtight container for up to 2 days. If you lack limes, lemons can be a substitute though they impart a slightly different flavor.

Pairings and Complements

The Pineapple Mint Infusion pairs beautifully with light, tropical snacks. Try it alongside a fruit salad, coconut macaroons, or some grilled shrimp skewers for a delightful combination.
