Grilled Pineapple Kombucha Mojitos Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced
- 1 cup kombucha (your favorite flavor)

How to make Grilled Pineapple Kombucha Mojitos :
Grill Pineapple: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill pineapple slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized. Remove and let cool, then chop into smaller pieces.
Muddle Mint: In a large glass or pitcher, add mint leaves and lime juice. Muddle gently to release the mint’s aroma.
Combine Ingredients: Add the grilled pineapple, kombucha, and honey/agave (if using) to the muddled mint. Stir to combine.
Add Sparkling Water: Fill glasses with ice and pour the mixture over the ice. Top with club soda or sparkling water for extra fizz.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with mint sprigs and pineapple wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Recipe Notes:
Flavor Variation Tips: Try using different kombucha flavors like ginger, passion fruit, or berry to customize the drink. The smoky taste of grilled pineapple pairs well with fruit or herbal-infused kombucha variants.
Sweetener Alternatives: If you prefer less sweetness, reduce or skip the honey/agave. Maple syrup or simple syrup work too, but adjust to taste so the lime and mint still shine through.
Make-Ahead & Serving Suggestions: You can grill the pineapple and muddle mint in advance and store separately; just add kombucha & sparkling water right before serving for best fizz and texture.
Garnishing & Presentation: Use pineapple wedges and fresh mint sprigs to garnish. A lime wheel or zest adds extra citrus aroma and visual appeal.
Temperature & Crispness: Serve over plenty of ice so the drink remains cold and refreshing. Freshly grilled pineapple adds smoke and caramelization, so don’t overcook to avoid bitterness.
