Cactus Juice

Looking at the ingredient list, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Cactus Juice would be a cloying sugar bomb. It is a sweet drink, true. But there’s something about the proportions — the generous measure of pineapple juice, the effervescent topper of sparkling water — that keeps it light and refreshing. It’s a total crowd pleaser on a hot day, and the lack of fresh citrus or other labor-intensive ingredients means you can keep ‘em coming in short order.

Shake everything (except the sparkling water) with ice. Strain into an ice-filled tall glass and top with the sparkling water. It doesn’t need a garnish, but a wedge of fresh or dried pineapple or a squeezed lime wedge wouldn’t be unwelcome.
