Ingredients for ginger syrup

For the ginger component of the drink, we’ll be making a simple ginger syrup to top off the drink. To make the syrup, all you have to do is simmer ginger powder, granulated sugar and water in a saucepan. See the steps in the following images:

Easy steps

Besides the ginger syrup, there is also pineapple juice, carbonated water and ice in this mocktail. To put together the drink:

Fill a glass with ice cubes. The size of ice cubes is up to you, but I recently got an ice cube tray that make mini ice cubes, which I find accompanies drinks really well.
Pour in the pure pineapple juice with preferably no sweetener added, because the natural sweetness of pineapple is enough to sweeten the drink (plus the ginger syrup).
Fill the remainder of the glass with carbonated water. I find that a brand new bottle of carbonated water is generally fizzier than a bottle that’s been opened before.
Drizzle on the ginger syrup, and give the drink a stir before sipping! If you’d like, you can put a slice of fresh pineapple on the rims of the glasses.
