Equipment
- Cocktail shaker or large mason jar with lid

- Muddler (or wooden spoon as alternative)
- Highball glasses
- Cocktail strainer
- Ice cube tray
- Citrus juicer (optional)
- Blender (if using fresh pineapple)
- Knife and cutting board

Ingredients
For 2 servings:
- 1 cup fresh pineapple juice or high-quality store-bought
- ½ cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup
- 1 cup club soda or sparkling water
- 2 cups ice cubes
- Mint leaves for garnish

For simple syrup (optional):

- ½ cup water
The key to a great Pineapple Coconut Fizz is using fresh ingredients when possible.
Instructions
- Make simple syrup (if not using store-bought): Combine equal parts sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat until sugar dissolves completely. Cool before using.
- Prepare your glass: Fill highball glasses with ice cubes.
- Mix the base: In a cocktail shaker, combine pineapple juice, coconut cream, lime juice, and simple syrup.
- Shake well: Add a few ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled.
- Strain and serve: Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses, filling them about ¾ full.
- Add fizz: Top each glass with club soda or sparkling water. Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish: Add a pineapple wedge and a few mint leaves to each glass.
This mocktail is best served immediately while still fizzy and cold.
Notes
This recipe can be easily adjusted to suit different tastes.
For a sweeter drink, add more simple syrup. For a tangier version, increase the lime juice.
Make it ahead by preparing the pineapple-coconut base in advance and refrigerating it. Add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain the fizz.
For a frozen version, blend all ingredients except the club soda with extra ice until smooth, then top with the sparkling water.
Common substitutions include coconut water instead of coconut cream for a lighter option, or coconut-flavored sparkling water in place of regular club soda for extra coconut flavor.
For special occasions, rim the glasses with shredded coconut or colorful sugar for a festive presentation.
