Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pineapple juice
- 0.5 cups Fresh pineapple chunks
- 3 cups Ginger beer (non-alcoholic or alcoholic, based on preference)
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 1 tablespoon Honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 4 sprigs Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
1. In a blender, combine the pineapple juice and fresh pineapple chunks. Blend until smooth. If you prefer the drink to be extra smooth, strain through a fine-mesh sieve to remove pulp.
2. Taste the pineapple puree, and if desired, add honey for extra sweetness. Mix well.
3. Divide the pineapple puree evenly into four tall glasses (about 1/3 cup per glass).
4. Add one scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass.
5. Slowly pour 3/4 cup of ginger beer into each glass over the ice cream and pineapple puree. The mixture will foam up, so pour slowly to avoid spilling.
6. Garnish each float with a sprig of fresh mint for a touch of color and aroma.
7. Serve immediately with a straw and spoon, and enjoy the refreshing combination of flavors!
