# What You Need:

→ Pineapple-Ginger Syrup

01 - 1/2 cup pineapple juice
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

→ Drink Base

04 - 1 cup guava nectar, chilled

06 - 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk, chilled
07 - 1/4 cup pineapple-ginger syrup
08 - 1 cup ice cubes

→ Garnish

09 - Fresh pineapple wedges
10 - Edible flowers

# How-To Steps:

01 - Combine pineapple juice, granulated sugar, and freshly grated ginger in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until sugar completely dissolves. Continue simmering for 5-7 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Remove from heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove ginger pieces. Allow syrup to cool completely before using.
02 - In a cocktail shaker or large jar with tight-fitting lid, combine chilled guava nectar, passionfruit juice, unsweetened coconut milk, and 1/4 cup of the cooled pineapple-ginger syrup. Add ice cubes, seal securely, and shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds until mixture is thoroughly blended and develops a frothy consistency.
03 - Fill two tall glasses with additional ice cubes. Pour the shaken beverage mixture evenly between glasses, dividing carefully to maintain the frothy top layer. Garnish immediately with fresh pineapple wedges and edible flowers if desired. Serve right away while chilled.
