Refreshing Pineapple Ginger Juice with just the right blend of sweet, spicy and sour taste.
Everyone has a favorite way to use ginger, some folks like to include it in stir-fries: others feel it is best added to sauces and soups.
Regardless of your favorite way of consuming ginger. This pineapple ginger juice is a great way to keep you cool this summer. Plus did you know there are some staggering medicinal values attributed to ginger.
My aunt swears by it, she makes ginger, lime and honey and that is the only remedy she uses to cure a cold. Some articles even mention the fact that it has aphrodisiac properties.
No, I can’t vouch for that. But is good to know.
You can work this juice to your liking. Love the spicy zing from ginger? Add some more ginger? Don’t care too much for sugary drinks reduce the amount sugar. You get what am trying to say right?
However, I would employ you to make the recipe as is to determine which way to proceed. It is a great juice combination- a complex, yet perfectly balanced combination of sweet, spicy, slight sour.
I used fresh pineapple in this recipe, but when I am press for time store-bought pineapple juice works just fine. If you live in an area where pineapples are really sweet then reduce the amount of sugar or completely eliminate it. In my neck of the woods they are not. Yeah, poor me.
Now if you want to be really happy and forget all your “wahala “ meaning trouble then add some rum to it .
Enjoy!

Terrific! I cut the sugar in 1/2, but then added my raw honey to the final product. I also added cinnamon.

Hi, please can I use pineapple flavour instead of fresh pineapple
ImmaculateBites says
Hello, If you do, it would alter the taste. This recipe is best made with fresh pineapple.
Ellin says
Hi I have fresh pineapple juice, fresh lemon and ginger juice I had already juiced. Would like to know the ratio of each to make juice. Thank you
ImmaculateBites says
Hi Ellin, The lemon juice is about 2 Tablespoons . For the ginger you would have to adjust to our liking .
Ellin says
Hello, I have made the juice countless times with both fresh and canned juice. It is delicious. Thank you

I tried this for the first time this morning and it is great. Smells a little different but ginger is better than any medicine and pineapple helps with my sugar cravings.
Lynda Johnson says
I love this recipe, I decided to take this to my family reunion this year. I would like to make 3 gallons, please tell me the recipe to make 3 gallons THANK YOU

Hello Lynda.
To make 3 gallons, you would need to multiply this recipe by 4 and adjust to taste. Enjoy!
