Notes

Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The flavors meld beautifully over time. Make-Ahead: The base can be made up to 2 days in advance. Add the fresh citrus juices just before serving for maximum brightness. Substitutions: If fresh pineapple is unavailable, a splash of pineapple extract can be used sparingly. Serving Suggestion: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a thin lime wheel.
