Sweet and tropical with a tangy pineapple note and a light cherry finish; creamy.
Pineapple brings acidity and a strong aroma, banana adds sweetness and a creamy body, and together they are a staple of tropical drinks. The cherry juice is used in small amounts, mainly for colour and a hint of red fruit. Pineapple is a good source of vitamin C. No sweetener is needed, as the fruit is sweet enough. A cheerful drink for breakfast or a warm afternoon.
