Notes
This recipe is easy to adjust based on your tastes. Here are some tips:
For a stronger pineapple flavor, use pineapple juice instead of sparkling water.
Make it ahead by preparing the Peeps-pineapple puree in advance. Store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Create a frozen version by blending the puree with ice instead of shaking it.
For a pretty layered look, don't stir after adding the sparkling water.
Try different Peeps flavors like strawberry or coconut for new taste combinations.
Remember, the Peeps will make the drink quite sweet. Adjust the amount of lime juice if you want to balance the sweetness.
