My Friends and Family Love It
Last summer, my kids begged me to make this pineapple soda when their friends came over for a play day. The kids went crazy for it, calling it “cloud juice” because of how creamy and frothy it looked. Now it’s the official drink they request for every playdate and sleepover!
And here’s a little secret – when the moms get together for our regular gatherings, we love to spice up this recipe with a splash of gin! It makes for the perfect grown-up version that’s still refreshing but with a little extra kick. Just add about 1 ounce of gin per glass for a delicious tropical cocktail that’s always a hit!
