Hello dear reader,
This is a very quick little blog post to share with you my favourite non-alcoholic cocktail.
I invented this one a few years ago, as I love pineapple juice but wanted a “longer” drink. I am not keen on soda or lemonade, so I tried topping it up with Diet Coke.
My family thought it was a crazy idea and there were many exclamations of “yeuchh”!
That is until they tasted it!
Then the exclamations were “wow, that really works” and “totally tropical taste”!
.
It is super-easy. Simply pour 150ml pineapple juice into a pretty pint glass…
Then top up with 330ml chilled Diet Coke!
Enjoy!
Vohn

Update: I am entering this into Chris’s Foodie World Cup bloggers challenge, as USA are playing today (16th June 2014) and that’s where Coke is from!
Oh, why not, cool idea.
Haha – thanks Chris. I love this drink! 🙂
I bet this IS good! Are you an angostura bitters fan?
I love angostura Emma. My drink of choice for many years was a Long Vodka. I’d kind of forgotten about it – so thanks for the reminder! I must make one as a treat once I get through my healthy January! Vohn x
I used to work in a bar when I was young, and a popular drink at ten time was a Muddy Puddle – Fresh Orange and Coke… Similar to this but not as tropical! Love the name – makes me want to add. A tequila and call it Pina Colappsle…
Ooh – haven’t tried a Muddy Puddle – must give it a go. Loving Colappsle! Vohn x
Great idea. It’s nice to have alternatives to plain diet coke! I’m going to try this. Thanks
