Points-Leader Pineapple Float
This vibrant pineapple float captures the anarchic spirit of FishCenter Live, delivering a refreshingly sweet and tangy escape. It's a delightfully frothy concoction, reminiscent of a hard-won victory lap, perfect for celebrating any arbitrary triumph after a long day at the 'office'.
Directions
- 1
In a small saucepan, combine the fresh pineapple, crushed pineapple with its juice, granulated sugar, fresh lime juice, and kosher salt.
- 2
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is fully dissolved and the pineapple begins to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the pineapple mixture to cool completely, about 20 minutes, or refrigerate for faster cooling.
- 4
Once cooled, transfer the pineapple mixture to a blender and process until smooth, creating a vibrant pineapple purée.
- 5
Pour about 1/4 inch of the pineapple purée into the bottom of four 12-ounce glasses.
- 6
Carefully add one scoop of vanilla bean ice cream to each glass, allowing it to rest on the purée.
- 7
Divide the chilled ginger ale and lemon-lime soda evenly among the glasses, pouring slowly over the ice cream to create a frothy top.
- 8
Garnish each float with a maraschino cherry, if desired, and serve immediately with a long spoon and straw.
