Tropical Pineapple Punch

1.Prepare the pineapple crush by placing the fresh pineapple chunks in a blender and pulsing until coarsely crushed but not pureed, leaving some texture.

3.Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more simple syrup if desired.

4.Add ice cubes to the pitcher to chill the punch thoroughly.

5.Just before serving, gently stir in the chilled soda water to add a refreshing fizz without losing carbonation.

6.Pour the Tropical Pineapple Punch into glasses filled with ice cubes.

7.Garnish each glass with a fresh pineapple wedge and a sprig of mint for an inviting presentation.
