From The NoMad Cocktail Book 🛟:
What does a nosy pepper do? It gets jalapeño business.
Today, I concocted a mocktail gem called La Piña, and let me tell you, it was a crowd-pleaser for kids to adults alike! This lip-smacking mix brings together pineapple juice and lime juice, sweetened with a touch of agave syrup and a gentle jalapeño zing. And for a twist that’ll tickle your taste buds, I opted for Topo Chico instead of the usual club soda. To make it extra snazzy, I even decked it out with a cinnamon sugar rim and a whimsical pinwheel glass marker to keep the little ones entertained.
Check out the epic showdown between these two drinks! The one up top, fresh as can be, rocks a cloudy yellow hue, courtesy of that pineapple juice. Meanwhile, the drink down below had a little spa day with some milk clarification a few days back, and voilà, it’s transformed into a crystal-clear beauty. Stay tuned for more on milk clarification.
