Makes: 1 drink
Ingredients
- ½ cup Pineapple Passionfruit Base (recipe below)
- ½ cup water
- Ice
- ¼ cup freeze-dried pineapple pieces
Pineapple Passionfruit Base
- 2 ¼ cups water, divided
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
- 2 tsp passionfruit powder
- ½ tsp green coffee extract
- ½ tsp citric acid
Instructions
- Add about ½ cup pineapple passionfruit base, ½ cup water, and ¼ cup freeze-dried pineapple pieces to an ice-filled shaker. Shake well to combine.
- Pour entire mixture (ice included) into glass. Top with additional pineapple pieces, if desired.
- Feel free to make alterations based on your sweetness preferences. Add more of the base for a sweeter drink and less for a less sweet drink.
Pineapple Passionfruit Base
- Put 1 ¼ cup water, sugar, and pineapple in a medium-size saucepan and bring mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, lower heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, until mixture has thickened a bit and pineapple is breaking down.
- Strain into a bowl, being sure to press down on the pineapple to extract as much juice as possible. Return syrup to saucepan over low heat.
- Stir passionfruit powder, green coffee extract, and citric acid into syrup until mostly combined (the passionfruit powder won't likely fully blend in).
- Pour mixture back into bowl or into a large mason jar and let cool completely. Syrup will continue to thicken as it cools.
- Add remaining 1 cup water and mix well to combine. This is your Refresher base. Keep in fridge until ready to use.
Notes
- This recipe for Pineapple Passionfruit Base makes enough for about 4 full drinks if using ½ cup of base per drink.
- The base should keep in your fridge for about 2 weeks.
- If you don't want caffeine in your Refresher, you can leave out the green coffee extract as it doesn't change the flavor.
- If you don't have citric acid, you can replace with 1 Tbsp lemon juice.
- Mix base with lemonade for a sweeter, tart drink or mix with sweetened coconut milk for a Paradise Drink.
