CHARRED PINEAPPLE LEMONADE

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat grill pan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add pineapple slices and cook 5 minutes per side, until char marks appear.
  3. Add a couple of lemon halves and grill for 3 minutes or until char marks appear.
  4. Set grilled pineapple and lemon halves aside to cool.
  5. Combine 3 cups hot water and sugar in a pitcher. Stir to combine until sugar is dissolved. The original recipe calls for 4 cups of hot water, however I thought it diluted the flavors a bit and found 3 cups to be plenty.
  6. Blend pineapple, fresh lemon juice and grilled lemon juice in a Vitamix or blender until smooth.
  7. Pour pineapple mixture through a mesh strainer into the pitcher with sugar mixture.
  8. Discard any solids.
  9. Stir well until fully blended and serve over ice with fresh basil leaves.
  10. Add a splash of rum or tequila, if desired.
