Ginger-pineapple fizz

Step 1

Peel ginger. Slice two thin slices and reserve for serving. Finely grate the remaining ginger. Peel pineapple and dice most of it finely, cutting out some larger decorative pieces to reserve for serving. Heat up a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry diced pineapple until golden.

Step 2

Add ginger to liquid measuring cup along with half of the pineapple. Blend until smooth using an immersion blender. Strain through a fine sieve and reserve the juice.

Step 3

Peel a long strip of cucumber peel and set aside for serving. Chop cucumber roughly, add to a liquid measuring cup, and blend using an immersion blender. Strain through a fine sieve and reserve the juice.

Step 4

Thread a skewer with reserved decorative pineapple pieces, the cucumber peel, and the slices of ginger. Add ice to a highball glass and pour in the ginger soda. Add the remaining pineapple cubes, lime juice, pineapple juice, and cucumber juice. Garnish with the skewer. Stir just before serving and enjoy!
