Pineapple Cranberry Morning

Pineapple and cranberry bring different kinds of sharpness: tropical fruit tang and a more drying berry finish. Cold water gives the pairing a lighter role than a full juice blend. Stir thoroughly, then taste before adding anything sweet. Your cranberry choice matters here, since pure juice and sweetened blends behave differently. The goal is to recognize both fruits, with pineapple rounding the edges rather than covering the cranberry completely.

Ingredients

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

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.
