Notes
For maximum fizz, add the ginger ale or club soda right before serving. You can prepare the juice mixture up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator. For a spiked version, add 1-2 ounces of vodka, rum, or tequila per serving. For a frozen version, blend all the ingredients with ice. If you prefer a tarter drink, reduce the amount of pineapple juice or skip the added sweetener altogether. Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor.
