Pineapple Barefoot Morning

Pineapple and coconut water suggest a tropical drink, but this version stays light instead of creamy. The pineapple has the sharper flavor; coconut water gives a softer sweetness behind it. Cold water keeps both from becoming too concentrated. This is a good one to stir thoroughly, since the first sip shouldn’t be mostly water and the last one mostly juice. Serve cold enough that the simple combination feels refreshing.

Ingredients

• 6 oz Cold water
• 2 oz Pineapple juice
• 2 oz Coconut water

Make it

1. Add the fruit and herbs to a glass. Gently press soft fruit or herbs to release their flavor.
2. Stir in the juice, any optional salt or sweetener, and the water. If using sparkling water, add it last and stir once.
3. Add ice if you like. Let infused water stand for 5 minutes for a fuller flavor.
