FAQs

Can I make this drink in advance?

While it’s best to mix it fresh, you can prepare the apple syrup and pineapple juice combination ahead of time and add the sparkling water right before serving.

Can I use a different syrup?

Yes, feel free to use any flavored syrup you prefer, though the apple flavor enhances the drink.

What can I use instead of sparkling water?

Club soda or lemon-lime soda can be good alternatives for a different flavor or to reduce sweetness.

Is this drink too strong?

The sweetness of the pineapple juice and sparkling water helps mellow out the apple syrup, making it quite smooth and easy to drink.

Can I make this drink without ice?

Yes, but ice helps keep the drink chilled and adds a refreshing element.

Can I use fresh pineapple juice?

Absolutely! Fresh pineapple juice can add an even fresher taste to the drink.

Is there a way to make this drink more fizzy?

For a fizzy twist, increase the amount of sparkling water or add a splash of soda water.

Can I use flavored pineapple juice?

Yes, flavored pineapple juice, such as tropical or coconut-flavored, can add an extra layer of taste.

Can I substitute apple-flavored syrup for another flavor?

You can, but the distinct apple flavor will be missing. Apple syrup adds a special sweetness that other flavors don’t provide.

How can I garnish this drink creatively?

For a fun twist, you can add a pineapple wedge or a cinnamon stick to the garnish.
