Herbed Pineapple Limeade: a refreshing, sophisticated and super easy drink, perfect for summer entertaining and parties year-round.
By: Emily Stoffel
Makes: 8 servings
Ingredients
5 cups pineapple juice
juice of 5 limes
zest of 2-3 limes
large handful basil (plus extra for serving)
large handful mint (plus extra for serving)
bubbly water (about 2-3 cups)
lotsa ice
Instructions
Muddle basil, mint and lime zest in the bottom of a big ol' pitcher. Add a couple cups of ice. Pour over lime and pineapple juices, plus bubbly water to taste. (We did about 2.5 cups.) Stir things up with a wooden spoon and feel like kind of a badass Southern lady (or dude) or something. Serve in summery little glasses over (more) ice topped with a couple herby sprigs and a squeeze more lime. Enjoy!
Notes
I love Trader Joe's pineapple juice because it's pineapple juice and nothing else and involves exactly zero battle time cleaning hoards of pineapple pulp out of your juicer. Feeling more cocky than mocky? Scale back on the bubbly a smidge and spike the pitcher with your favorite clear booze: tequila (hello, salted rim!), rum (hello tiny umbrella!), vodka (hello fishbowl dranks from college!), etc. :)
