Refreshing spicy pineapple mojito mocktail recipe
Get ready for a taste sensation with our spicy pineapple mojito mocktail recipe!
Who said that non alcoholic drinks are boring?
We certainly didn’t!
We’ve mixed this mocktail, so it has a real spicy punch, but you can add as much – or as little – spice as you like.
If you did want to make this into an alcoholic cocktail, then you could easily add a shot of white rum to your drink.
Fresh pineapple makes all the difference
Using fresh pineapple really enhances the flavour.
We griddle our fresh pineapple chunks and they taste fantastic.
The tip for making the perfect virgin mojito mocktail
There are many ways of making the perfect mojito mocktail, but we think one of the great twists to our version of this spicy pineapple mojito, is to rim the glass with salt and chilli powder.
You can use as much or as little chilli as you like, but it does start and finish your drink with a lovely kick.
How do you rim the cocktail glass with salt and chilli?
Firstly, make sure you haven’t put anything in your glass – that’s crucial otherwise it’ll all fall out.
Then, pour salt and chilli powder on to a side plate and mix it together.
Now take a wedge of fresh lemon and gently wipe it around the rim of your glass.
Put your cocktail glass, rimmed end down, onto the mixture and slowly and carefully swirl it around.
The salt and chilli should stick to the rim and will look and taste great.
That’s it! As simple as that!
