Ingredients
1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 6 strips
2 limes
Large handful cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
750 mL to 1.5 L bottle sparkling water
Directions
Heat a cast iron griddle over medium-high heat. Add pineapple and cook until beginning to caramelize, about one to two minutes per side. Remove to a plate to cool completely. For a garnish, cut six small chunks of pineapple from one of the grilled strips and set aside for serving.
Zest one limes into a pitcher. Add the juice of both. Add the pineapple strips and cilantro to the pitcher and blitz with an immersion blender until blended. Add sparkling water to taste the pitcher.
Portion ice into six highball glasses and pour over with the pineapple spritz. Garnish with reserved pineapple pieces and more cilantro. Enjoy!
