Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 Fresh pineapple (, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 4 cups))
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar +/- to taste; depending on the ripeness of the pineapple
  • 20 medium sized mint leaves; cleaned and de-stemed ((more for optional garnish))
  • 6 oz LeBlon Cachaça

Instruction

  • Prepare the pineapple and place it in a blender, add the sugar and water.
  • Puree until smooth, or mostly smooth.
  • Strain through a fine mesh sieve, using a spoon to press all the liquid out from the pulp.
  • Discard the pulp.
  • Return the juice to the blender, it's alright if there is a bit of pulp remaining in the blender, and add the mint leaves.
  • Pulse blend until all the leaves have chopped and been mixed thoroughly into the juice.
  • Cover, and for best results, let chill over night, but at least several hours before serving.
  • When ready to serve, pour equal amounts into 6 glasses, add one ounce of Cachaça to each glass and gently mix.
  • Garnish with a mint leaf (optional), serve, and enjoy responsibly.
