05 - Top each glass with pineapple wedges, lime slices, and fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes literally ten minutes and tastes like you actually tried, which feels like a small victory.
  • The ginger gives it an edge that plain fruit drinks don't have, making it feel sophisticated without requiring a liquor store run.
02 -
  • If you add the sparkling water too early and let it sit, the fizz dies—so prep everything else ahead and only carbonate when you're ready to pour and serve.
  • Ginger intensity varies wildly depending on how fresh it is; taste the mixture before adding sparkling water so you can adjust the sweetness or ginger level without wasting ingredients.
03 -
  • Freeze pineapple chunks in advance on a baking sheet—when you use frozen chunks instead of ice, you get a fully cold drink without the watering down that happens as regular ice melts.
  • Make a ginger syrup by simmering grated ginger with a bit of honey and water, then strain it; using this instead of raw ginger gives you all the flavor without any grittiness.
