Yes, at CocktailMolotov, we make a super pineapple juice. It's super because we make it ourselves, and it's definitely a lot of work. But it's worth it!
Depending on the type of pineapple, the taste will be sweeter or more bitter. There are more than a hundred varieties of pineapple.pineapple victoria It works miracles, it's very sweet and juicy.
To make your juice, you'll need a blender and sharp knife, without forgetting pineapple, of course! This juice will be used in several cocktails, such as the A dreamy Pina Colada we're serving you (in French), Painkiller or the Mary Pickford.
Indeed, your Pina Colada won't taste the same if you struggle to extract the delicious nectar from a pineapple, instead of buying premium pineapple juice, which will certainly give you an upset stomach.
How to make your own pineapple juice
First, a pineapple is not like an orange: cut an orange in half, squeeze it a little, and out comes 1/2 litre of juice — I am exaggerating a little. I tried this with a pineapple and all I got was a thorn in my thumb, nearly breaking my citrus juicer …
After several months of research, I found the ultimate technique (in all humility) for making pineapple juice.
100% pure pineapple juice
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple
Equipment
- Blender
- chopping board
- knife
Instructions
- Hold the pineapple by its leafy crown and start removing its thick, prickly skin. If you cut off the crown first, you will have nothing to hold it by, so avoid that mistake.
- Cut it into small pieces: the smaller they are, the more easily they will blend.
- Put everything in the blender.
- Strike a ridiculous pose. No, sorry, that is just me doing it for the article.
- Blend, gently moving the blender so the large pieces on top move towards the blade. You can add a tiny amount of water, but it is entirely optional.
- Strain the mixture, using a spoon to help, and be patient: pineapple is very fibrous. You can leave out the core, although I like the flavour it adds.
- Scoop up this delicious pineapple juice, and prepare a super good Pina Colada with it!
