Summertime Pineapple Strawberry Juice
There’s nothing like a cool, fruity drink to beat the Caribbean heat, and this Tropical Pineapple Strawberry Juice Recipe brings all the vibes of a tropical refreshment without the fuss.
Ingredients · Servings 6
- 1 large ripe pineapple (cubed)
- 1 lb strawberries
- 8-10 cups water
- 1 lemon
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon Mixed Essence
- 1 teaspoon Angostura bitters
Method · 10 min
- Peel, core, and cube the pineapple. Hull and halve the strawberries.
- In batches, blend fruit with some of the water until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher.
- Skim off any foam that rises to the top. Add remaining water, lemon juice, sugar, Mixed Essence, and bitters (if using). Stir well to combine.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity if needed. Chill thoroughly before serving over ice. Garnish with pineapple slices or fresh berries.
This one’s super simple to make. Blend it, strain it, sweeten it to your taste, and chill it until it’s ice cold. In the video, I show you how I make mine in two batches to keep the texture smooth and balanced. Serve this up with some floating strawberry slices or a wedge of pineapple and you’ve got yourself a drink that tastes just like summer in the islands.
