Easy Ginger Beer Mocktail Recipe (Low Calorie!)
Description
The Easy Ginger Beer Mocktail Recipe begins by blending fresh pineapple, honey, half the lime juice, and mint leaves to create a bright, fruity base. Straining the mixture removes texture for a smoother drink, focusing on fresh juice flavors. The remainder of the lime juice and ginger beer are added to maintain a tangy and lightly spicy character.
The ginger beer provides a spicy ginger flavor and effervescence which contrasts nicely with the natural sweetness from the pineapple and honey. Mint leaves enhance freshness with a cooling effect. Served over ice, the drink is chilled and invigorating.
This mocktail can be served at casual gatherings or whenever a refreshing, low-calorie non-alcoholic beverage is desired. Using fresh pineapple rather than pre-made juice offers brightness and control over sweetness, though pineapple juice can substitute if strain is skipped and honey omitted.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pineapple
- 3 mint leaves plus more for topping
- 1 lime
- 1 bottle ginger beer
- 1 tbs honey
Instructions
- In a food processor combine the fresh pineapple, honey, half of the lime juice, and mint together.
- Strain the pulp out with a mesh strainer.
- Fill two glasses with ice. Divide the juice from the blender into the glasses.
- Add in the remaining freshly squeezed lime juice and ginger beer.
- Top it with fresh mint and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute pineapple juice for fresh pineapple, but omit honey if the juice is sweet enough.
- Straining the pineapple mixture is optional; leaving pulp adds texture which some may prefer.
- Do not substitute ginger ale for ginger beer, as it lacks the spicy ginger flavor essential to the drink.
