Because ripe pineapples bruise easily and don't travel well, and because the fruit doesn't ripen after being picked, processed pineapple products like juice and canned fruit that are made from fully ripened fruit frequently taste better than the fresh pineapples available to most consumers. That's why I don't waste my time juicing my own pineapples for beverages. Strawberries are another matter. Strawberry juice, because of its low acidity, is highly perishable. In this light sparkling soda, the strawberry juice is fresh and the pineapple juice is processed—the best of both worlds.

Cooks' Note

To Mix with Seltzer:
2/3 cup strawberry pineapple purée
2/3 cup seltzer

1 serving

Spoon the purée into a tall glass. Add the seltzer and stir just until blended. Add ice and serve.

To Carbonate with a Siphon:
2 cups water
1 batch strawberry pineapple purée

3 servings

Combine the water and purée in a 1-quart soda siphon. Charge with CO2 according to the manufacturer's directions. Siphon-charged sodas can be stored in the siphon in a refrigerator for up to 5 days. Disperse as desired into tall glasses filled with ice, and serve.
