Fresh pineapple, a squeeze of lime, a pinch of salt, and cold water — that's genuinely all it takes to make something this refreshing. The blender does the heavy lifting, and straining the pulp leaves you with a silky, jewel-bright drink that looks like it came from a street cart in the best possible way. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, beverages can be a sneaky source of worry, but every single ingredient here is plant-based and straightforward, with zero hidden animal-derived additives to stress over. The balance of sweet pineapple and tart lime is naturally lively, and that small pinch of salt pulls the whole thing together in a way that's hard to explain until you taste it. Serve it over a tall glass of ice with a sprig of fresh mint and it instantly feels like a special occasion, even on a Tuesday afternoon. It's the kind of drink that disappears fast, so you might want to double the batch.

Add the pineapple chunks, cold water, sugar, lime juice, and salt to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 45–60 seconds.
Set a fine-mesh strainer over a large pitcher. Pour the blended mixture through the strainer, pressing gently on the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
