Throwing away the rind and core of pineapples always bums me out. There's still so much pineapple in them. This soda takes advantage of that, plus a dose of brown sugar to bring out some of the same flavors that make pineapple upside down cake wonderful. It's nice in a tall glass of ice with a pretty garnish of mint or, if you really want it to taste like an upside down cake, a maraschino cherry with a bit of syrup from the jar. <br /> <br />Because this soda is lightly fermented with yeast, there's a tee-tiny bit of alcohol byproduct, but mostly its consequence is fizz. Also, because this is a fermentation project, make sure that all of your utensils, pots, and bottles are scrupulously clean. <br />
