Ingredient Notes

Here is everything you’ll need to make coconut water with pineapple:

Here is a brief overview of the ingredients:

• Pineapple – This naturally sweet and tangy tropical fruit perfectly complements the delicate nuttiness of coconut water. Look for a pineapple with a sweet, fruity aroma at the base and a slight give when you press it, indicating perfect ripeness.
• Water – You’ll blend the pineapple with a small amount of water to help it break down into a smooth puree and make it easier to extract the juice. As with any infused water recipe, I always recommend using filtered water to avoid flavor impurities your tap water may have.
• Coconut water – The hydrating hero of this recipe! Its subtle, nutty undertones balance the pineapple’s sweetness for the ultimate tropical refreshment. Ensure you have pure coconut water with no added sugars or artificial ingredients.
• Ice – Ice is optional but recommended if you prefer an extra-cold drink, especially on a hot day.

How to Make Pineapple Coconut Water

A refreshing glass of coconut pineapple water is just a few steps away. Here’s how to make it:

Step 1. Puree the pineapple.

Peel and roughly chop a fresh pineapple. Place the pineapple chunks in a blender or food processor with 1/2 cup of water. Pulse a few times to break them down, then blend until completely smooth.

Step 2. Strain the juice.

Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the pineapple puree into the strainer, and use a rubber spatula to press as much juice as possible, leaving the pulp behind.

Step 3. Combine with coconut water and serve.

Transfer the strained pineapple juice to a pitcher or mason jar. Add coconut water and stir until well combined. If desired, enjoy your drink immediately over ice or refrigerate it until you’re ready for an extra refreshing experience.

Variations

The simplicity of this pineapple coconut water recipe leaves plenty of room for your creativity. Here are some fun and flavorful ideas to get you started:

• Splash of citrus – Add a splash of fresh lime, lemon, or orange juice for a tart and tangy twist.
• Fruit fusions – To create an exciting new fruity flavor, consider pureeing the pineapple with chunks of fresh mango, papaya, passion fruit, kiwi, or even strawberries before straining.
• Herbal infusions – Muddle fresh herbs, such as mint or basil, in the bottom of your glass or pitcher for a hint of fresh, aromatic flavor.
• Slushy version – After combining the coconut water and pineapple juice, blend the mixture with ice for a frosty, kid-friendly tropical treat.
• Popsicle version – Freeze the pineapple coconut water in popsicle molds until solid. Before freezing, add small chunks of pineapple, shredded coconut, or even a few blueberries for an extra fun frozen snack!

Storing & Freezing

If you made a big batch of this pineapple coconut water drink, here’s how to keep it fresh and flavorful:

• Storing: Refrigerate the drink in an airtight pitcher, jar, or bottle for up to 2 days. The natural pineapple juice may settle over time, so you may need to give it a good stir before serving.
• Freezing: Freeze leftover pineapple coconut water in ice cube trays for adding to future drinks – just drop a few cubes into a glass of water, sparkling water, or your next water infusion for an extra burst of tropical flavor without diluting the drink.
