Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, white grape juice, pineapple chunks, and granulated sugar. Stir well to ensure sugar dissolves.
  2. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. After simmering, strain the liquid to remove pineapple chunks, squeezing lightly to extract as much liquid as possible.
Mix Additives
  1. Pour the strained liquid back into the saucepan. Over low heat, whisk in passionfruit powder and citric acid until fully dissolved.
  2. Remove saucepan from heat and transfer the liquid into a large jar. Allow to cool completely.
Prepare and Serve
  1. In a cocktail shaker or large jar, add ½ cup of cooled pineapple mixture and ½ cup of sweetened coconut milk. Shake until well combined.
  2. Fill tall glasses with ice and pour Paradise Drink over the ice, gently stirring. Garnish with freeze-dried pineapple pieces.
  3. Enjoy your homemade Paradise Drink, savoring the tropical flavors!

Notes

For a festive presentation, consider adding a straw or cocktail umbrella. Store leftover mixture without coconut milk in the refrigerator for up to a week.
