Ingredients

　　1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped (about 6 cups)

　　5 cups ice, plus more for the glasses

　　1/4 cup sugar

　　1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnish (optional)

　　Puree the pineapple in a blender until smooth. Pour the puree through a fine sieve into a bowl; discard the solids. Return half the juice to the blender; blend with half the ice and sugar. Add half the mint; pulse to combine. Transfer to a pitcher; repeat with the remaining ingredients. Just before serving, stir mixture and pour into ice-filled glasses. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
