Taste
Tangy and tropical, with juicy pineapple, perfumed passion fruit and a fresh, slightly peppery green finish.
About this smoothie
Pineapple and passion fruit both combine sweetness with a pronounced acidity, so together they taste bright and intensely tropical. Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C, and passion fruit adds a floral perfume and edible seeds. Half a banana makes the texture smoother, while mint and a small amount of rocket add a subtle herbal, peppery note.
The original recipe listed no pineapple despite its name; this version adds it, as the title promises. It is a light, refreshing smoothie for a warm morning or afternoon.
Bartender tips
Use very ripe pineapple: it should smell sweet at the base.
The rocket is optional; leave it out for a purely fruity version.
Variations
Creamy
Replace the water with coconut milk drink for a piña colada style smoothie without alcohol.

Why is there rocket in it?
