📝 Ingredients (Serves 4–6):

• 1 lime (peeled or juiced) 🍋

• 1 lb (about 3–4 cups) red or purple grapes 🍇

• 1 medium ripe pineapple (peeled, cored, and chopped) 🍍

• ½ small purple cabbage (roughly chopped) 🟣

• 1–2 cups cold water or coconut water (optional, for consistency)

• Ice (for serving) 🧊

• Optional garnish: Lime slices, grape skewers, pineapple wedges, mint leaves

🧃 Instructions:

1. Prep Your Produce

• Wash and prepare all your fruit and veggies:

  • Peel and chop the pineapple

  • Rinse the grapes

  • Roughly chop the purple cabbage

  • Juice or peel the lime

2. Juicing Method 1: Blender + Strain (No Juicer Needed)

• Add the grapes, pineapple, cabbage, and lime juice to a high-speed blender.

• Add 1–2 cups cold water or coconut water to help it blend.

• Blend until smooth.

• Strain the juice through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a pitcher for a smooth punch (or skip straining for a smoothie-like texture).

3. Juicing Method 2: Juicer

• Run all ingredients through a juicer: cabbage first, then grapes, lime, and pineapple last to push through the cabbage fibers.

• Stir the juice and chill.

4. Serve Over Ice

• Pour into glasses filled with ice.

• Garnish with grape skewers, pineapple chunks, or a lime wheel. Add mint for a touch of green contrast.

🌴 Optional Add-Ins:

• Sweeten it up: If your fruit isn’t sweet enough, stir in honey, agave, or simple syrup to taste.

• Make it fizzy: Add club soda, lemon-lime soda, or sparkling water just before serving.

• Make it boozy: Add a splash of white rum, vodka, or coconut rum for a colorful cocktail twist!

• Boost the color: A small handful of blueberries or blackberries can deepen the purple.

💜 Health Highlights:

• Purple cabbage gives it that vivid hue and is rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins.

• Grapes and pineapple offer natural sweetness, vitamin C, and hydration.

• Lime adds a zesty tang and helps balance the sweetness with a citrus pop.

🎉 Perfect For:

• Brunches & juice bars
