2 oz simple syrup
4-6 oz club soda

Instructions

Notes

Fresh pineapple juice makes a big difference in taste compared to canned versions. Store any leftover drink mixture without club soda in the fridge for up to 2 days.

The simple syrup can be adjusted based on sweetness preference. Start with less and add more to taste.

For extra flair, freeze small pineapple chunks to use as ice cubes. They won’t water down the drink and add more flavor as they melt.

Tasting Notes

This fresh and vibrant mocktail brings together sweet and tart flavors. The pineapple adds natural sweetness while lime juice creates a bright, citrusy punch.

Sweet notes:

Fresh pineapple juice
Simple syrup
Club soda adds gentle bubbles

Sour notes:

Fresh lime juice gives a zesty kick

Balances the sweetness perfectly

The drink starts sweet on the tongue and ends with a refreshing citrus finish. Club soda lightens the texture and adds a pleasant fizz that makes each sip more exciting.

A well-balanced mocktail needs both sweet and sour elements. The pineapple Collins hits this mark with its mix of tropical fruit and citrus.

The aroma brings thoughts of beach vacations with strong notes of fresh pineapple. A hint of lime adds complexity to the scent.

When served ice-cold, this drink tastes clean and refreshing. The ingredients work together to create a smooth, easy-to-drink mocktail that isn’t too sweet or too tart.
