Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to create this refreshing Costa Rican beverage:
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
If you’re in a pinch and can’t find fresh pineapple, canned pineapple in juice works as well. And for those who prefer a less sweet drink, feel free to skip the honey.
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to bring a taste of Costa Rica to your glass:
- Start by combining the pineapple chunks and coconut water in a blender. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the fresh lime juice, ground cinnamon, and honey or agave syrup if using. Blend again to combine the flavors.
- Toss in the ice cubes and blend until the mixture is frothy and cold.
- Pour the drink into glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of Costa Rica.
As you sip, let the flavors transport you to a sun-drenched beach, with the waves gently lapping at your feet — a little daydream I often indulge in while I cook.
