- 1 tbsp lime or lemon juice
For serving:
- 2 tall or Collins glasses
- Sprigs of mint
- Fresh pineapple wedges
- 2 pineapple leaves (optional)

Instructions
- Preparation of the pineapple coconut sorbet: Strain the fresh pineapple juice. Blend the juice and coconut meat, adding sugar if needed. Freeze the mixture for 4-6 hours.
- Preparation of the cocktail: Blend coconut water, lemon/lime juice, and mint. Add sugar if desired. Pour over crushed ice in glasses, add pineapple coconut sorbet, and garnish with mint and pineapple.
Notes
- If coconut meat is unavailable, substitute ¼ cup coconut cream for the sorbet.
- Use lemon as a substitute for lime.
- For an alcoholic version, add 2oz (½ cup) of coconut rum to the coconut water.
- Crushed ice is optional as the sorbet chills the drink.
- No extra sugar is needed if the juices are sweet; consider using stevia, maple syrup, or honey for a healthier alternative.
- Approximately 1½ cups of pineapple chunks yield 1 cup of juice.
