This pineapple ginger beer mocktail is so delicious you won’t even miss the alcohol. It gets its unique flavor from a spiced simple syrup made with cinnamon, star anise, ginger and cloves.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the spiced simple syrup:

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 star anise
  • 2 whole cloves
  • 1 (2-inch) knob ginger, sliced
  • 1 cup water
  • 3/4 cup sugar

For the mocktail:

  • 1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice
  • 1 ounce fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 ounce spiced simple syrup (recipe below)
  • 2–3 ounce ginger beer
  • Ice (a lot)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
