Seeing this Pineapple Strawberry Cooler recipe on Pinterest boards a number of times, I figured that our Sing Star night would be the perfect setting to trial out such a wonderful looking recipe!

  • 1 12-ounce can frozen pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
  • 1 6-ounce can frozen limeade concentrate, thawed

Sit back, soak up the sunshine sipping a sweet drink and enjoy summer!
I couldn’t find any frozen pineapple juice in H.E.B, so I used some tinned pineapple juice instead.  I really think that this recipe would be better without the Club Soda.  It adds a bite that’s just too sharp and acidic to it, I’d definitely make it again, but, instead of the club soda, I’d add sprite zero or some kind of fizzy white lemonade! It was refreshing though, and the jug was empty by the end of the night! 🙂
