Christopher Columbus is credited with discovering the pineapple and bringing it to Spain from the island of Guadeloupe in 1493. The fruit develops from many small fruits fused together and was carried on ships to prevent scurvy because it is rich in vitamin C.
Here is a recipe that combines its signature tartness with orange, strawberry, and banana for a refreshing tropical drink.

Yes, the berries in this recipe are colorful - but the "rainbow" in the name refers to an interesting ingredient, rainbow sherbet. Some variations of rainbow sherbet contain ice cream, but depending on which kind you use, you can create a tangy, dairy-free smoothie using this recipe.

"Whole juice" refers to using an entire food in the recipe, rather than running the fruit or vegetable through a traditional juicer and separating the pulp from the juice. The resulting beverage includes more fiber than a traditional juice and has a smoother, creamier texture.

Happy New Year! Looking for a way to finish off that leftover champagne? We have a suggestion...
Cazuela means “pot” in Spanish and refers to a variety of dishes prepared in clay pots. The traditional cazuela cocktail is made with tequila and fruit in a clay pot. This version, made with champagne, is both lighter and easier to prepare.
