Spicy Pineapple Ginger Beer Mocktail
A perfectly balanced, non-alcoholic tropical drink with a warm, spicy kick that will impress your guests and tantalize your taste buds. This ginger beer mocktail combines sweet pineapple with zesty lime and spicy ginger for an unforgettable flavor experience.
Ingredients
- 2 oz 60ml Pineapple Juice: Sweet and tropical, it softens the ginger's intensity while adding sunny flavor.
- 6-8 Fresh Mint Leaves: Adds a cooling freshness that makes the drink more refreshing.
- 1 Pinch Sea Salt: My secret trick! Just a tiny pinch makes all the other flavors pop without tasting salty.
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lime Juice: Adds brightness and balances the sweetness with tangy citrus.
- ¾ Cup 180ml Ginger Beer: The star ingredient that brings spicy warmth and fizzy bubbles.
- 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar: My special addition that gives that subtle "bite" you'd normally get from alcohol.
- Ice Cubes: Keeps everything cold and refreshing.
- Garnish: Fresh pineapple wedge and mint sprig for that "wow" factor.
Instructions
- Clap the mint leaves between your hands a few times until they smell fragrant. Add the mint, a pinch of salt, and lime juice to your glass or mug and gently press with a muddler or wooden spoon handle just 2-3 times.
- Fill your glass halfway with ice, then pour in the pineapple juice and apple cider vinegar. Give everything a quick stir for about 5-10 seconds to mix well and chill.
- Pour in the ginger beer slowly down the side of the glass to keep the bubbles. Add a pineapple wedge and fresh mint sprig on top, and enjoy right away while it's perfectly fizzy and cold!
