3. Add a fresh mint leaf to each ice tray hole and divide the muddled pineapple over the mint.
For the cucumber cooler T & T’s:
4. Add a quartered cucumber piece into each ice tray hole and divide the lime juice over the cucumber slices. *Chef’s Tip: Rolling the lime before squeezing will produce maximum juice!

To assemble:
6. Allow the ice cubes to chill in the freezer for at least 3-4 hours, or until set.
