Often we relate tropical flavors with summer, but 100% DOLE® Canned Pineapple Juice can go beyond summer and carry
The exotic and refreshing taste of 100% DOLE® Canned Pineapple Juice is a great alternative to orange juice. Make the swap with your favorite recipe. It makes your favorite marinade even more delicious. It’s even great on its own or in your favorite smoothie, cocktail or mocktail. I love to use it as part of my refreshingly festive easy holiday punch base. You can make it two ways – red or green. Your drink can be part of your table decor! The green punch is made using lemon-lime drink mix. It has a great pineapple flavor with a accent of lime. The red punch combines the pineapple juice with cherry and orange flavored drink mix resulting in a delightful fruit punch flavor. The red is my family’s favorite.
Serve one flavor or serve both! It makes plenty. One batch makes enough base to make 40 servings of punch. You just add 1 part punch to 3 parts water or carbonated drink like ginger ale or lemon lime soda. So you can decide whether to make it regular or bubbly punch! 100% DOLE® Canned Pineapple Juice is sold in 46 oz cans (which is what I used in my recipe) but also come in 6 pack of 6oz cans. Both can be found on the shelf stable juice aisle of most grocery stores and mass merchandisers nationwide.
