Tropical Breeze Pineapple Cucumber Mint Juice

Every summer growing up, my family would gather on the porch as the sun melted into the horizon, golden and warm. The laughter of cousins, the aroma of fresh fruits, and the clinking of icy glasses filled the air. There was always one drink that symbolized those perfect afternoons: a crisp, cool juice that blended the sweetness of ripe pineapple with the calming freshness of mint and cucumber.

This Tropical Breeze Pineapple Cucumber Mint Juice is a sip of that nostalgia — pure, refreshing, and joyfully simple. It’s the kind of recipe I imagine passing down to my daughters, served during family BBQs, Ramadan iftars, or just quiet weekends spent savoring the little things.
And the best part? It’s 100% halal, wholesome, and heartwarming — just like homemade should be.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

2 cups (about 330g) fresh pineapple chunks
1 medium (about 200g) cucumber, peeled and sliced
¼ cup (6g) fresh mint leaves (plus extra for garnish)
1 ½ cups (360ml) cold water
1 tablespoon (15ml) fresh lime juice
1-2 tablespoons (15-30g) honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
1 cup (150g) ice cubes, plus extra for serving

Kitchen Tools You’ll Need

High-speed blender
Fine mesh strainer (optional, for smoother texture)
Knife and cutting board
Measuring cups and spoons
Large jug or pitcher
Serving glasses
Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Wash and peel your cucumber. Roughly chop the cucumber and pineapple into chunks for easy blending. Gently rinse the mint leaves.

Step 2: Blend It Up
In your blender, combine:

Pineapple chunks
Cucumber slices
Fresh mint leaves
Cold water
Lime juice
Honey or agave syrup
Blend on high until everything is smooth and vibrant green.

Step 3: Strain (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother juice, pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pitcher, using the back of a spoon to press out all the liquid.

Tip: Skipping the strainer gives you a thicker, smoothie-like drink that’s packed with fiber!

Step 4: Chill and Serve
Add ice cubes directly to the pitcher or into individual glasses. Pour the Tropical Breeze Juice over the ice, garnish with extra mint leaves, and add a pineapple slice or cucumber ribbon on the rim for a beautiful touch.

Step 5: Sip, Smile, and Share
Serve immediately and watch the smiles bloom around the table.

Helpful Tips & Variations

Make it a mocktail: Add a splash of sparkling water for a fizzy, festive version.
Herbal twist: Swap mint for fresh basil for a unique flavor profile.
Extra chill: Freeze pineapple chunks beforehand and skip ice cubes for a thicker, frostier drink.
Sweetness check: Taste before serving — the natural sweetness of pineapple varies! Adjust honey/agave if needed.
