Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh ginger and turmeric are key here; the flavor is so much brighter than dried. If you can't find fresh turmeric, you can use about 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric instead, but the fresh roots really make a difference in flavor and health benefits. Coconut water adds a nice sweetness and hydration, but feel free to swap in plain water if that's what you have on hand.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep a little jar of grated ginger and turmeric in my fridge for quick access; it saves time when I want to whip this up!
- •Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking—sometimes I skip the maple syrup entirely if the pineapple is perfectly ripe.
Recipe Variations
- •If I'm feeling adventurous, I'll add a splash of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- •Sometimes, I swap out the pineapple for mango for a different tropical twist.
Storage & Freezing
This tonic is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store any leftovers in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good shake before you drink it, as the ingredients may settle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ground ginger and turmeric instead of fresh?
You can, but it won't have the same vibrant taste and health benefits. If you must, use about 1/2 teaspoon of each.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by grating the fresh ginger and turmeric. I find using a microplane makes this super easy, and it gets the most flavor out.
- 2
In a blender, combine the grated ginger, grated turmeric, diced pineapple, lime juice, and coconut water.
- 3
Blend on high until everything is well combined and smooth. If you like a chunkier tonic, blend for a shorter time.
- 4
Taste the mixture—this is where you can add the maple syrup if you want a touch of sweetness. Blend again to mix.
- 5
Pour the tonic into glasses filled with ice cubes. I like to fill mine halfway with ice, then add the tonic.
- 6
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for a lovely touch. Cheers to your health and happiness!
