Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Pineapple juice
- 1 oz Lime juice
- 2 oz Blueberry syrup
- 4 oz Sparkling water
- 6 pieces Fresh mint leaves
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 drop Blue food coloring (optional)
- 2 pieces Lime slices (for garnish)
- 8 pieces Fresh blueberries (for garnish)
Instructions
In a shaker or mixing glass, combine the pineapple juice and lime juice. Stir thoroughly, and set aside.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes, filling to about 3/4 full.
Divide the blueberry syrup between the two glasses, pouring it gently to keep as much separation during layering as possible.
If desired, add a drop of blue food coloring to each glass for a more dramatic color effect.
Slowly pour the pineapple and lime juice mixture over the back of a spoon into the glasses. This helps create a layered effect.
Top each glass with sparkling water, pouring it gently to maintain the layers.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, lime slices, and a few blueberries for a decorative touch.
Serve immediately with a straw or swizzle stick, allowing the drinker to enjoy the layered presentation before mixing for a balanced flavor profile.
