Spicy Pineapple Ginger Cooler - Vegan recipe hero image

Every summer, I crave something that captures the essence of sunshine and warmth, and this Spicy Pineapple Ginger Cooler does just that.

I remember sitting on my porch one sweltering afternoon, sipping this drink and feeling the cool breeze wrap around me like a hug.

The combination of pineapple and ginger is not just refreshing; it’s invigorating, and I love knowing I’m nourishing my body with whole, plant-based ingredients.

Plus, it’s super easy to whip up, which is always a win in my book!

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I love using fresh pineapples because they pack a lot of flavor! If you can’t find fresh, you can use unsweetened canned pineapple, but watch out for added sugars. Ginger is a powerhouse for digestion and adds that lovely spice. For the jalapeño, you can substitute with a milder pepper if you’re not into the heat.

Tips & Notes

  • I love to chill my sparkling water beforehand so it stays nice and fizzy when mixed in.
  • If you want to make this ahead of time, prepare the pineapple mixture and add the sparkling water just before serving to keep it bubbly.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I swap out the pineapple for mango, and it’s just as delightful!
  • If you want a bit of creaminess, try adding a splash of coconut milk for a tropical twist.

Storage & Freezing

This cooler is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store it in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a day. Just remember to add more sparkling water before serving to revive the fizz!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without ginger?

Absolutely! If you're not a fan of ginger, you can simply leave it out. You might miss that zesty kick, but it’ll still be a tasty drink.
