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!

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 .

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.

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

Tiarra says
If I boil the ginger in the water then allow it to cool can this reduce the prep time …
imma africanbites says
I wouldn’t recommend so ’cause boiling the ginger in the water would result to a stronger ginger-y taste.
mike says
your article is very good. I can’t wait to try it with my family. Thank you for sharing ideas with me. I’m waiting for your next article.
Gayle says

Success Okoronkwo says
Hi, great recipe! How do you derive the juice from the pineapple? I’m assuming you blend the pieces of pineapple? Thanks!
imma africanbites says
Hi. You can use a juicer to squeeze all the juice from the pineapple or you can use your blender following the steps in this article >>> http://bit.ly/2HKUpYo . If you’re pressed with time you can use store-bought pineapple juice. Let me know how it works for you.

THIS IS SO HELPFUL
ImmaculateBites says
Glad you found it useful
dan springston says
Do you know if this DRink is good without the ginger just pineapple and sugar.
ImmaculateBites says
It is still going to taste good. However, it would not have that piquant taste of ginger.
tomi says
I love this juice but I usually just put the pineapple and the ginger through the juicer. I’ll try this method soon.
ImmaculateBites says
Let me know how this works for you.
Ronke says
The honey, ginger, lime or lemon remedy works for the flu.

tawaniwura says
Hi, please do you boil the ginger and also do you later blend it to get the juice out of it?
Imma Adamu says
Yes you can boil ginger. Folks often do when they drink it with tea in the morning. but to get all of the juice and the ‘chaff’ it does make sense to blend it. If you have a serious blender you would be surprised how easily it can blend and after a while you get used to the ‘pulp’however, its really up to you and your pallette. Either way, ginger is a really good herb to have in the drink. You can’t go wrong either way. Enjoy
