Pineapple Sage Sparkler Mocktail Recipe
This refreshing drink combines sweet pineapple juice with fresh sage leaves and sparkling water for a bright, tropical taste.
Equipment
- Large cocktail shaker
- Muddler or wooden spoon
- Fine-mesh strainer
- Tall glasses
- Ice cube tray
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Cutting Board
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh pineapple juice
- 8-10 fresh sage leaves plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 cup lime juice about 2 limes
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- Sparkling water
- Ice cubes
- Pineapple wedges for garnish
Instructions
- Add sage leaves and honey to the shaker. Muddle gently to release the sage oils.
- Pour in the pineapple juice and lime juice. Then, fill the shaker with ice.
- Shake for 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into tall glasses filled with ice, filling each glass about 2/3 full.
- Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
- Garnish with fresh sage leaves and pineapple wedges
Notes
Store extra pineapple juice in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Fresh sage leaves work best - dried sage won't give the same bright flavor.
For a sweeter drink, add more honey. For less sweetness, reduce the honey or skip it.
Make a big batch by multiplying the recipe. Mix everything except the sparkling water, then add it just before serving.
