I can live on cool drinks all year long…π Being a teetotaller couple, we are constantly looking forward to trying some new flavours of mocktails and coolers…and more often than not we come across great findsππ
Speaking of great finds, I also find it interesting to try and make a new flavour combination right in the comfort of my kitchen! Earlier, I have shared the recipe of tropical iced tea which was a total hit! I make it every summer and we can’t get enough of itπ I keep myself and the hubby hydrated as we sip on some of the most delicious homemade coolers. I have been told by people who have tried my Fruity Green Tea cooler, that it was one of the best ways to enjoy their green tea!
Coming to this gorgeous beauty that has gotten you all parched is my take on two amazing flavours…tropical Pineapple and the very exotic Rose. Rose, on it’s own is very cooling. I have combined it’s flavours with the sweet and slightly tangy juices of local Pineapples and added my twist to it….π The resulting cooler/ mocktail is a bit spicy, has the freshness of summer mint and is loaded with ice! Just the thing you need in these sweltering afternoons.
Let’s get started….
Yield: serves 2
Equipment: mortar-pestle, measuring cups/ spoons, mixing spoons, 2 glass/ bottles of your choice to serve the drink.
Ingredients:
1+1/2 cup fresh or canned pineapple juice
4 tsp rose syrup
9-10 fresh mint leaves
1/2 tsp chaat masala (Indian spice mix easily available in Indian Grocery/ Food Stores. If you can’t find chaat Masala, replace this ingredient with some salt and pepper to taste)**
1/4 tsp ginger juice (grate some ginger and squeeze the juice to add to the mocktail)
ice cubes as needed
Method:
Muddle together mint leaves, chaat Masala** and ginger juice together in the mortar-pestle.
Add two tsp rose syrup in each of the 2 serving glasses/ bottles.
Top the rose syrup up with 1-2 tsp of the mint leaves, ginger juice and chaat Masala** mixture.
Add ice cubes. Lastly, pour the Pineapple juice. The flavours will combine on their own, however, you can give them a quick stir. Garnish the drink with a sprig of mint! Enjoy!
