Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- For the juice:
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (hulled)
- 1 medium pineapple (peeled and cored)
- 1/2 lemon (juiced)
- 1 cup cold water (optional, for dilution)
- For garnish (optional):
- Fresh mint leaves

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- 1. Prepare all fruit: Wash strawberries, hull them, and cut into halves. Peel and core pineapple, then chop into chunks.
- 2. Juice the fruits: Run strawberries and pineapple through a juicer. If using a blender, blend with 1/2 cup water until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
- 3. Combine: Mix strawberry and pineapple juices together in a pitcher. Add lemon juice and stir well.
- 4. Adjust consistency: If too thick, add cold water 1/4 cup at a time until desired texture is reached.
- 5. Chill: Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
- 6. Serve: Pour over ice, garnish with mint, pineapple wedges, or strawberry slices if desired.
Notes
For a frothier texture, blend the strained juice for 10 seconds before serving. Use organic fruits when possible for the best flavor. Leftovers keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.
