Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (chunks) fresh pineapple
- 1 whole (peeled and cubed) mango
- 1 cup orange juice
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons (adjust to taste) honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 5 leaves (optional for garnish) mint leaves
Instructions
In a blender, combine the pineapple chunks, mango, orange juice, water, lime juice, and honey or agave syrup.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth, ensuring there are no large fruit chunks remaining.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more honey or agave syrup if desired.
Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer to remove pulp, gently pressing with a spatula to extract all the liquid.
Discard the pulp and transfer the strained liquid to a clean pitcher.
Add the ice cubes to the pitcher and stir to chill the drink.
Serve immediately in glasses over additional ice cubes if desired, and garnish with mint leaves for a fresh and vibrant touch.
