Ingredient Notes
- Pineapple juice– Pure 100% juice.
- Lime juice– Freshly squeezed lime juice yields the best flavor.
- Orange juice– Stick with an all natural brand, also 100% orange juice, that doesn’t have added sugar or preservatives. If you’re up for it, you can also juice your own oranges.
- Ginger beer– Choose a good quality ginger beer. Fever Tree and Q are excellent, my all time favorite is Reeds zero sugar, just because it’s healthier and uses stevia.
- Ice– I like whole cubes for this drink because they don’t melt as fast and therefore won’t dilute the drink as quickly.

Tips & Tricks
- A citrus press is great for juicing the lime and/or oranges.
- Get the most juice out of your limes by placing them on your counter and firmly rolling them back and forth several times with the heel of your hand. This helps encourage the segments to burst and makes extracting the juice easier.
- Start with chilled ingredients to keep your drink cold longer and the ice from melting as quickly.
- Using a cocktail jigger is an easy way to measure out the ingredients.
Garnish Ideas
Adding a garnish makes the drink stand out. Here are some easy-to-do ideas.
- Sugar Rim– Use classic granulated sugar or larger crystals to decorate the rim of the non-alcoholic drink.
- Fresh Fruit– This is what we did, cut some pineapple wedges and/or lime wheels, add a slit and slide onto the side of the glass. Alternatively, you can drop them right into the drink.
- Citrus Peel– Use a spiraled or sliced peel (orange peel or lime peel) to hang on the edge of the glass or placed in the glass. Use a vegetable peeler or citrus peeler tool to slice off some of the peel. wrap it around a pencil or your finger to encourage the spiral shape.
- Dehydrated Fruit– Many upscale restaurants and bars use dehydrated fruit to dress their cocktails. For a modern and hip appearance, try this fun trend!
- Grilled Pineapple– A sweet grilled pineapple wedge on the rim of this mocktail is especially fitting for a summer cookout.
This tropical mocktail has multiple fruits inside, giving you more room to be creative. Use all or just one of the fruits to elevate the presentation when hosting or celebrating with family and friends.

Storing and Freezing Tips
This mocktail is best enjoyed freshly made because of the carbonation. However, if you have leftovers, it won’t hurt to store it in the fridge for a couple days. It will loose it’s fizziness though. I don’t recommend freezing this.
