Pineapple Jalapeno Mojito Mocktail

by admin

Jump to Recipe

Summer is here, and oh man, have I been looking forward to it.  Sunshine, sand, salt, and ocean water.  BBQs, the smell of grilled food in the air, bonfires at night, and the aroma of smoke in my hair .  Fresh watermelon dripping down your hands and face as you bite into a deliciously ripe piece.  And of course, ice cold drinks to cool me down as I sit in the blazing hot sun while working on my tan 😉 

This is where this recipe comes in.  This recipe is inspired by a drink that I used to order at a restaurant in Carlsbad, CA called Bistro West, called “Tropic Thunder.” It had pineapple juice, lime juice, jalapeno syrup, mint, and rum….need I say more. Yum. 

Sadly Bistro West has closed its doors but, this cocktail was one of my favorites on their menu.  I have tried my best to recreate it in my kitchen, and I think I have finally nailed it. This is a non-alcoholic version but it could easily be mad into an adult beverage with the addition of an ounce of rum or vodka.  I hope as you sip this cocktail it will take you to a place in your mind where your toes are buried in warm soft sand,  the roar of the ocean is in your ears, and you feel the summer sun’s heat on your skin…that place in your mind that is is eternally summer.  Enjoy!

Pineapple Jalapeno Mint Mocktail a.k.a. “Tropic Thunder”

Hannah Huddleston
This cool refreshingly sweet, bright, and spicy mocktail brings the chill to summer chillin. Enjoy the mocktail with the whole family, or add an ounce of rum to make it a strictly adult beverage.
