01 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger

→ Drink Base

04 - 1 cup guava nectar, chilled

# How to Make:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, sugar, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until slightly thickened, then strain through a fine mesh sieve. Allow to cool completely before using.
02 - In a cocktail shaker or large jar with lid, combine guava nectar, passionfruit juice, coconut milk, and 1/4 cup cooled pineapple-ginger syrup. Add ice cubes, seal tightly, and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until well mixed and frothy.
03 - Pour the mixture evenly into two tall glasses filled with fresh ice cubes.
04 - Top each glass with pineapple wedges or edible flowers if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent actual money at a fancy café: but you made it in your kitchen for pennies.
  • The homemade pineapple-ginger syrup is the secret: it's what separates this from basic juice mixing, and it's ridiculously easy to make.
  • It's naturally vegan and dairy-free: so everyone at your table can enjoy it without worrying.
02 -
  • Don't skip the straining step: I learned this the hard way when ginger bits got stuck in my straw and ruined the elegant moment I was going for.
  • Chill all your juices and milk beforehand: This is what separates a mediocre tropical drink from one that actually feels refreshing and luxurious on a hot day.
03 -
  • Make the syrup the night before: so it's completely chilled and ready to go when you want to mix drinks in the afternoon.
  • Use a cocktail shaker if you have one: because the vigorous motion creates that beautiful frothy top that makes people gasp a little when you pour it.
