Classic Pineapple Juice

Brighten your morning with this ultra-refreshing homemade pineapple juice. It’s just sweet, tangy, and pure—no added sugar needed. All you need is one ripe pineapple and 10 minutes.
Serving: 2 | Prep Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 0 minutes
Ingredients
For the juice
- 1 large ripe pineapple (look for one that gives slightly when squeezed)
- 1/2 cup cold water (adjust for desired consistency)
- Ice cubes (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Stand it upright and slice off the skin in vertical strips, removing any brown 'eyes' with a small knife.
- Quarter the pineapple lengthwise, then cut out the tough core from each quarter. Chop the flesh into 1-inch chunks.
- Place the pineapple chunks in a blender and add 1/2 cup cold water. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 30–60 seconds. Tip: For a colder drink, refrigerate the pineapple chunks for 30 minutes before blending.
- Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large bowl or pitcher. Pour the blended pineapple through the strainer. Use a spatula to press and stir the pulp to extract as much liquid as possible. Tip: Avoid pressing too hard or you’ll get sediment; for a clearer juice, let it drip naturally for a few minutes.
- Discard the pulp (or save it for smoothies or baking). Pour the juice into two glasses filled with ice, if desired. Stir and serve immediately. You can also thin with a little extra cold water if the juice is too thick.
This juice is silky, bright, and naturally sweet—a perfect wake-up sip. For a fun twist, muddle a few mint leaves in the glass before pouring. Enjoy it straight or as a base for a tropical cocktail later.
