Pineapple Tajin Sparkler

Five minutes & five ingredients away from your refreshing, go-to mocktail to ride out the dog days of summer (or simply pretend you’re on a sunny beach!)

So I recently had this drink at Palmer’s in San Francisco that was essentially a pineapple margarita. It was amazing and I could have drank 12, except it obviously was alcoholic and that’s terrible for both my body and soul. But the seed was planted, and it got me thinking. What could I recreate that would taste just as delicious but I **could** actually drink all day and night long?

Enter: the pineapple tajin sparkler.

Ingredients:

(Serves 1)

  • 1 tsp tajin
  • 1/2 of a lime
  • 1 large ice cube
  • 4 oz sparkling water (ty @sanpellegrino_us)
  • 2 oz 100% pineapple juice*
  • Could add a shot!**

Directions:

  1. Pour tajin on a plate. Rim your glass with the lime half, then roll the rim of the glass in the tajin.
  2. Place ice in your glass. Pour in your sparkling water, then pineapple juice. Squeeze the lime half into the glass. You’re done, enjoy!

Notes:

* I used a Dole’s 100% pineapple juice can which you can find at any grocery store, Target, etc but you could also use freshly juiced pineapple!

** I’d recommend vodka!
