I gave this a try mostly because I had a pineapple but no juice—definitely something I would repeat if I were going to make, say, a pineapple sorbet, but not something I'd bother with for everyday cocktail mixing.

Made by Mexican prison inmates as well as housewives...hmmm. Do you have a recipe? Michael P.S. Still wondering how fresh pineapple juice made this way compares to tinned.

The best part is saving the pineapple rind to make Tepaché. I ended up buying a Breville juicer, it works mighty nice, even with the hard stuff.

But I have to ask the somewhat obvious question: how much better than tinned 100% juice is the fresh? I know the answer should be "way better" but sometimes these things (fresh vs. canned) can be surprising. Thanks! Michael Intrigued by the fresh pineapple juice.

The photos are a huge help in communicating methodology. Here's an alternative Pina Colada recipe that I think far outshines the traditional one. 1 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into chunks. Set aside 4 small chunks for garnish. 4 oz white rhum agricole 4 oz coconut water 3-4 cups ice Blend pineapple into puree. Use 12 oz, then freeze rest. Add rhum, coconut water and 3 cups ice. Blend one minute. Add ice as needed. Pour into Collins glasses, garnish with pineapple slice and straw. Makes 4 drinks. Cheers! Blair Frodelius Marleigh,

I made a chi chi a year ago i think it was but i used agricole, its a nice drink. Your version with mac nut liqueur sounds deliscious but where to find mac nut liqueur? maybe i could do something with the nuts, just to get some flavour? any suggestion? tincture maybe? I also like your tutorial pictures on the juicing,thats nice.
