Method

Simple Syrup Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Simple Syrup

    In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar completely dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool. This simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month.

Drink Assembly

  1. 2

    Prepare the Pineapple Sage

    Wash the fresh pineapple sage leaves gently under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel and set aside.

  2. 3

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a large pitcher, combine the prepared simple syrup (about 1/2 cup), 2 cups of fresh pineapple diced into chunks, and 1 cup of fresh lime juice. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the ingredients to release the flavors of the pineapple sage and lime.

  3. 4

    Add Ginger Ale

    Slowly pour in 4 cups of ginger ale to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine without losing the carbonation.

  4. 5

    Serve

    Fill glasses with ice and pour the Pineapple Sage Island Breeze mixture over the ice. Garnish each drink with a few fresh pineapple sage leaves and a slice of pineapple if desired.
