Handy Things to Know
- No dairy or gluten here, so everyone can grab a glass worry-free
- Drink up soon because the fizz lasts about half an hour
- Always looks cute and that pineapple scent feels like you’re on a little getaway
That pineapple kick in every sip seriously makes me happy. My niece calls it “the fanciest pink drink” and won’t drink hers unless there’s a little umbrella in it
Keeping It Fresh
This is best enjoyed right after you pour the soda. Have extra? Toss in a covered pitcher and chill it in the fridge for up to two days. Just remember, bubbles fade after a while, so for parties, mix the juices ahead and add the soda only when you’re ready to serve
Swaps and Extras
Want to lower the sugar? Use club soda instead of Sprite or 7UP. Only got canned pineapple? Blend it up with a bit of water and strain for your own simple juice. Diet soda or light lemonade also keep it lighter if you want!
Fun Serving Moves
Pour over ice in big cups for a cold treat. Top with pineapple pieces, fresh berries, or edible blossoms to make it cute. Try a little ginger ale or flavored sparkling water for a fun twist. For adults, a splash of vodka or rum makes it real beachy
