Can I make a pitcher for a party?
Absolutely! I scale up all ingredients, muddling mint and simple syrup first, then stir in pineapple, coconut water, and lime. I refrigerate the base and add soda, ice, and garnishes before serving.
Can I use canned pineapple juice?
Yes—I use pure, unsweetened juice if possible. I adjust simple syrup depending on how sweet the juice is.
How far ahead can I prep the mix?
I prepare the fruit, lime, and sugar up to 24 hours before serving. I add ice, soda water, and mint garnish just before enjoying for that fresh fizz.
