What is Pineapple Ginger Mocktail?


Ginger Pineapple is a cold alcoholic beverage that contains the natural tropical sweetness of pineapple juice and the warmth of ginger. It is a fine blend of flavours and textures that can be characterised by its bright, sunny colour and layer of heat from the spice. The medley of the two makes this ginger pineapple mocktail a refreshing delight on a chill winter morning.


Behind the Ingredients: Flavour Profiles and More


As with any other recipe, each ingredient makes this pineapple ginger drink the excellence that it is. Here is how each key element supports the mocktail:


Pineapple juice: Pineapple is a revered base for a variety of drinks. This is because its juice is inherently both sweet as well as slightly acidic. The combination of two flavour profiles combined with the smooth texture adds to the mouthfeel of the drink.


Ginger: While the pineapple juice forms the body of the drink, ginger is the soul. Ginger cuts through the sweetness, thereby adding depth and complexity to the drink. You may use freshly muddled ginger for extracting its juice, or opt for ginger powder blended in a simple syrup as a convenient alternative.


Carbonated water: The unsung hero of this bold fruit mocktail is the carbonated water. Its role in the drink is not simply to add a light bubbly texture but also to meld the flavours of this pineapple mocktail together seamlessly. And it does a great job of doing so, elevating this drink to a true tropical delight.

● 1 ½ cups of B Natural Pineapple Juice

● 1 ½ tablespoons of Fresh Ginger Juice

● ½ cup of Carbonated Water

● A handful of Ice Cubes

● 2 to 4 pieces of Pineapple Wedges for garnish

● Place your glasses in the freezer for at least 5 to 10 minutes to achieve a perfectly chilled glass for the mocktail.

● If you are out of premade ginger juice, you may make your own at home by peeling and grating a piece of ginger. With the help of a cheesecloth, squeeze the grated ginger over a small bowl to extract its juice.

● Add both your pineapple and ginger juice to a clean shaker with a handful of ice cubes. You may also add a hint of simple syrup or agave nectar if you prefer your drink a little sweet.

● Secure the lid on the shaker and mix it vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until the ginger-pineapple mocktail blend is well combined and chilled.

● Take your glasses out of the freezer and divide this ginger-pineapple mixture among them evenly.

● Top each glass with carbonated water, leaving some space at the top for additional ice cubes.

Cut a wedge of pineapple in the centre and place it on the rim of the glass.
