Pineapple Chamomile Lemonade

Mocktail
Drink: Pineapple Chamomile Lemonade

Pineapple and chamomile tea are not your usual co-conspirators, in flavor or philosophy. The golden fruit is acidic and tart, containing flesh-eating enzymes. On the other hand, chamomile is a calming herb historically used as a remedy for inflammation and gastrointestinal ailments. But together, in our Pineapple Chamomile Lemonade, they coalesce into a surprisingly well-balanced mocktail. You’re not the only one that contains multitudes.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz chamomile tea, brewed and cooled
  • 2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 oz honey syrup

Preparation

  1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker and fill 3/4 with ice.
  2. Shake until chilled, about 12 seconds. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Garnish with pineapple fronds and an edible orchid, if desired.
