Ingredients
1 tsp finely grated lime zest
120 ml fresh lime juice
120 ml light rum (optional)
320 g roughly chopped fresh ripe pineapple
2 to 3 fresh pitted dates, plus more to taste
1 tsp minced ginger, plus more to taste
30 g firmly packed mint leaves, plus more to serve
250 g ice cubes, to serve
480 ml sparkling water, to serve
Step by step
Throw the lime zest, lime juice, rum (if using), pineapple, dates, and ginger into your KitchenAid® Power Plus® blender container, secure the lid, and blast on high for about 30 seconds until the dates are completely pulverized.
Add dates and ginger to taste, and pulverize again, if adding extra.
Add the mint leaves, secure the lid, and pulse for 5 to 10 seconds on variable speed 4 until the mint is rustically broken up into small pieces but not completely pulverized.
Fill four glasses with 1 cup of ice cubes each, and pour equal parts of the blended mixture into each of the glasses.
Top with sparkling water, and garnish with mint leaves. Enjoy immediately.
Depending on the sweetness of the pineapple and the tartness of the limes you juice, more dates may be required.
