How to Make a Pineapple Jalapeño Cocktail with SodaStream

Quick Answer

Combine freshly carbonated water with SodaStream Crafted Pineapple & Jalapeño Mixer and your choice of spirit or skip the alcohol for a bold mocktail.

Step-by-Step Recipe

1. Carbonate Your Water: Fill a SodaStream bottle with cold water and carbonate it using your sparkling water maker. For the best fizz, use chilled water and carbonate in short bursts. Over-carbonating can make the drink too bubbly and cause it to foam when you add the mixer. Stop when you hear 3-4 short pulses.
2. Measure the Mixer: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of SodaStream Crafted Pineapple & Jalapeño Mixer into a glass. This is the standard ratio for one serving. Adjust more or less depending on how strong you want the flavor. Start with less — you can always add more mixer, but you can't remove it once it's in.
3. Add Sparkling Water: Slowly pour the freshly carbonated water into the glass over the mixer. Stir gently with a spoon to combine. Avoid vigorous shaking, which can flatten the carbonation. Pouring too fast can cause the carbonation to release rapidly and create a mess. Pour along the side of the glass.
4. Add Spirit (Optional): If making a cocktail, add 1.5 oz (45 ml) of tequila, blanco rum, or mezcal. Stir once more. For a mocktail, skip this step and add an extra splash of sparkling water. A high-proof spirit can overwhelm the jalapeño heat. Stick to 80-proof spirits for balance.
5. Garnish and Serve: Add ice cubes, a thin slice of fresh jalapeño, and a pineapple wedge or lime wheel. Serve immediately while the carbonation is still lively. Letting the drink sit too long will cause it to go flat. Drink within 10 minutes of mixing.
