Healthy Recipes Healthy Drink Recipes Spicy Pineapple-Ginger Mocktail Be the first to rate & review! Sweet chunks of pineapple create the foundation for this incredibly refreshing mocktail. Serrano pepper and fresh ginger lend a kick of heat to balance the sweetness. Be sure to use a ripe pineapple to get the most flavor. Ripe pineapples should have a firm shell, but be slightly soft when squeezed.
