Refresh Juice
Pineapple and orange juice blended with fresh mint and a hit of ginger for a bright, zingy cooler that wakes up the whole table.
A juice that lives up to its name: pineapple and orange with fresh mint and a hint of ginger for a gentle, warming kick. It wakes up the senses in moments and suits a bright morning or a midday break.
How to Prepare
Add the pineapple, mint, ginger, lemon juice, orange juice and sugar to a blender.
Blend on high until smooth.
Add the ice and blend again until frosty.
Strain if you like, pour into glasses and serve cold.

Grate the ginger finely and start with a small amount — it is potent, and you can always blend in more to taste.
Ingredient Swaps
Instead of fresh mint, use basil for a different refreshing note.
Skip the ginger or replace it with a little turmeric for a warmer character.
Sweeten with honey instead of sugar for a natural touch.
Common Questions
Is the ginger flavour strong?
A teaspoon of grated ginger gives only a gentle warmth; use less for a milder taste.
Can I serve it unstrained?
Yes, but strain it if you want a smooth texture free of mint and ginger fibres.
How do I keep it cold without diluting?
Use ice cubes made from the juice itself instead of plain water ice.
When do I add the sugar?
Add it at the end and taste gradually depending on the fruit sweetness.
Can I make it ahead?
It is best fresh, but keeps a few hours in the fridge; shake before serving.
