Scale
Syrup Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (about 12 g) fresh ginger, grated
Drink Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) guava nectar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) passionfruit juice
- Ice, for serving
- Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or lime slices
Instructions
- Make the Pineapple-Ginger Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, granulated sugar, and grated fresh ginger. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, until the sugar has fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.
- Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve to remove all ginger pieces, ensuring a smooth texture. Set the syrup aside to cool completely.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour the unsweetened coconut milk, guava nectar, passionfruit juice, and the cooled pineapple-ginger syrup. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly. Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed based on the guava nectar and passionfruit juice.
- Prepare to Serve: Fill tall glasses with fresh, clear ice cubes. Pour the guava passionfruit drink mixture over the ice.
- Garnish and Serve: Optionally, garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves or a slice of lime for extra aroma and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical refreshment.
