Light, Tropical, and Bubbly — With a Pop of Color
This fresh spring drink gets a bold visual upgrade with a splash of berry flavor! The base remains tropical with sweet pineapple juice and fresh mint, but we’re adding a top layer of cranberry or hibiscus for a vibrant, ombre effect that stuns in the glass. It’s still light, bubbly, and perfect for spring brunches or baby showers — just with a bit more flair.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups pineapple juice (chilled)
- 1/2 cup soda water or sparkling water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/4 cup cranberry juice or hibiscus tea (chilled)
- Crushed ice
- Optional: pineapple wedges, mint sprigs, lime slices for garnish
Instructions:
- In a pitcher or shaker, gently muddle the mint leaves.
- Add pineapple juice and lime juice. Stir to combine.
- Fill a tall glass with crushed ice and pour the juice mixture in, leaving room at the top.
- Slowly pour the cranberry juice or hibiscus tea over the back of a spoon to layer it on top.
- Top with soda water, garnish with mint and pineapple wedge, and serve immediately.
