Instructions

Step 1: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread 3 cups fresh pineapple chunks onto skewers and grill for 3-4 minutes per side until pineapple is nicely charred and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: In a blender, combine the charred pineapple chunks, 1 small sliced jalapeño (seeds removed for less heat), 1 inch peeled grated fresh ginger, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, and 3 tablespoons honey. Blend on high until smooth and fragrant.
Step 3: Pour the pineapple mixture into a large pitcher and stir in 3 cups cold water until well combined. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to chill.
Step 4: Just before serving, add 2 cups club soda and 2 cups ice cubes to the pitcher. Stir gently to mix.
Step 5: Serve in glasses garnished with lime wheels for a spicy-sweet punch experience.
