Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.5 cup Freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 cup Pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Simple syrup
- 8 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 2 cups Club soda
- 2 cups Crushed ice
- 4 slices Orange slices
- 4 slices Lime slices
- 4 sprigs Mint sprigs for garnish
Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed orange juice, lime juice, pineapple juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to mix.
Using the back of a spoon or a muddler, gently bruise the mint leaves to release their aroma but do not crush them completely.
Add the bruised mint leaves to the pitcher and stir gently to infuse the drink with mint flavor.
Just before serving, add the club soda to the mixture and stir lightly to combine without losing carbonation.
Fill four glasses with crushed ice and pour the Key West Citrus Cooler mixture evenly into each glass, leaving some space at the top.
Garnish each glass with an orange slice, a lime slice, and a sprig of mint.
Serve immediately with a straw or stir stick and enjoy the refreshing taste of Key West!
