Expert tips
Use Ripe, Juicy Pineapple: Always pick fully ripe pineapple for natural sweetness and bold tropical flavor. Unripe ones can make the juice sour or dull.
Blend with Ice for Instant Chill: If you’re short on time, blend with a few ice cubes for a frosty drink without watering it down too much.
Adjust Sweetness Last: Always taste the juice after blending before adding sugar, it might not need much if the pineapple is naturally sweet.
Add Lemon at the End: Squeeze in the lemon juice after blending to retain its fresh, citrusy brightness without bitterness.
Strain for Smooth Texture: If you prefer pulp-free juice, strain it through a fine mesh or muslin cloth for a clean, smooth finish.
Serve Immediately: Pineapple juice can ferment quickly at room temperature, so it’s best served fresh and chilled right after blending.
