# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in ten minutes flat, which means you can make it even when people are already walking through your door.
  • The ginger bite balances perfectly against the pineapple sweetness, so you never feel like you're drinking liquid candy.
  • It's naturally vegan and gluten-free without requiring any special substitutions or apologetic explanations.
02 -
  • If you add the sparkling water more than five minutes before serving, the drink goes flat and all your effort disappears, so always add it last.
  • Ginger quantity is intensely personal, so start with the recipe amount and toss in more if you like that warming kick that builds on your tongue.
03 -
  • If you're making this for a crowd, freeze pineapple chunks ahead of time so they double as ice cubes and don't dilute the drink as they melt.
  • A tiny splash of coconut water instead of some of the sparkling water transforms this into something almost mystical without losing the fizz.
