The pineapple zing is what I look forward to most with each sip. Once, my niece decided it was the prettiest drink ever and refused to drink it without a fancy umbrella jammed in her glass.
Keeping It Fresh
It’s definitely best when crispy cold and newly bubbly. Leftovers will last up to 2 days in the fridge in a covered pitcher, but expect fewer bubbles. For big parties, get the juice part ready early and pour in the soda when it’s time to serve.
Easy Swaps
No lemon-lime soda? Club soda works, and it’s less sweet. You can whiz up canned pineapple with water and strain if you don’t have bottled juice. Want it less sugary? Use diet soda or a lighter lemonade mix.
Ways to Serve
Pour into tall chilled glasses with lots of ice and you’ve got a winner. Add fruit like berries, pineapple slices, or edible flowers to make it pop. Try ginger ale or a splash of fancy sparkling water for a switch-up. Grown-ups can toss in some vodka or light rum for a punchy summer drink.
