Instructions

To make the simple syrup, combine the cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, ginger and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes. Scoop out the solids and stir in the sugar. Simmer, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to an airtight container and chilling in the fridge.
To make the mocktail, fill a cocktail shaker or mason jar with ice. Add the pineapple juice, lime juice and simple syrup. Shake for 30–60 seconds or until the shaker is frosty and chilled. Strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice. Top with ginger beer and enjoy!
