Notes
For best results, use fresh-squeezed orange juice and ripe pineapple. If using frozen pineapple, thaw completely and drain excess liquid. Chill ingredients before blending to keep the drink cold without dilution. The drink is best served immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
