Celestial Nectar
This refreshing and tart mocktail is perfect for a hot summer day. The pineapple, grapefruit, and lemon provide a burst of citrus flavor, while the agave nectar (if using) adds a touch of sweetness. The water and ice cubes help to thin out the drink and make it more slushy, perfect for sipping on the porch or by the pool.
This recipe was inspired by a trip to the Caribbean. I was sitting on the beach, watching the sunset, and sipping on a local fruit punch. The flavors were so bright and refreshing, and I knew I had to recreate it at home. After a few experiments, I came up with this mocktail, which is a perfect way to bring the flavors of the tropics to your own backyard.
