Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Produce:
- 1 pineapple, chopped
- 1 banana (optional)
- 1 pear (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish
Citrus:
- ¼ lemon
Liquid and Ice:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) water
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) ice
Instructions
- Meticulously wash and prep the fresh pineapple, removing the tough outer skin and cutting the golden fruit into uniform, bite-sized cubes (approximately 1/2 inch or 1.27 centimeters).
- Transfer the pineapple pieces into a high-powered blender, then add freshly squeezed lemon juice (or 30 milliliters) and cool filtered water (or 120 milliliters).
- Activate the blender and pulse on high speed for 45-60 seconds, ensuring all pineapple fragments are transformed into a silky, smooth liquid texture.
- Position a fine-mesh strainer over a clean glass pitcher, carefully pouring the blended mixture to extract a crystal-clear, pulp-free tropical beverage.
- Select a tall glass and fill it generously with crushed or standard ice cubes, creating a frosty foundation for the pineapple drink.
- Gently pour the strained pineapple liquid over the ice, allowing it to cascade and chill instantly.
- Elevate the presentation by delicately tucking fresh mint leaves along the glass rim or floating them atop the beverage for an aromatic garnish.
- Serve immediately, presenting a refreshing and vibrant tropical elixir perfect for hot summer afternoons or celebratory gatherings.
