Scale
Syrup Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (about 12 g) fresh ginger, grated
Drink Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) guava nectar
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) passionfruit juice
- Ice, for serving
Optional Garnish

Instructions
- Make Ginger Pineapple Syrup: In a saucepan, combine pineapple juice, granulated sugar, and grated fresh ginger. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 5 minutes.
- Strain Syrup: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the syrup through a fine sieve to remove all ginger pieces, ensuring a smooth syrup. Set aside to cool.
- Mix Drink Base: In a large pitcher, combine the cooled pineapple-ginger syrup with unsweetened coconut milk, guava nectar, and passionfruit juice. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary, depending on the natural sweetness of guava nectar and passionfruit juice.
- Prepare Glasses: Fill tall glasses with fresh clear ice cubes to chill the drink properly.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the guava passionfruit mixture over the ice in each glass. Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves or a slice of lime for added aroma and presentation before serving.
Notes
- The sweetness may vary depending on the guava nectar and passionfruit juice used, so always taste and adjust accordingly.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the grated ginger by 1 teaspoon.
- Use fresh juices whenever possible for the best flavor.
- Can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a cooler experience.
- For a fun twist, add sparkling water for some fizz just before serving.
