Expert Secrets:

• 1. Be sure to use ripe, sweet pineapple for the best flavor in your mocktails.
• 2. Chill your glasses in the freezer before serving to keep your mocktails cold for longer.
• 3. Don’t over-blend the pineapple mixture, as you want a slightly chunky texture for added interest.
• 4. If you prefer a sweeter mocktail, add a touch of honey or agave syrup to the pineapple mixture.
• 5. Play around with different herbs like basil or cilantro for a unique flavor twist.
