In large pitcher, combine fresh pineapple juice with pineapple chunks and grated core for maximum flavor.

Add grated ginger, lime zest, and pinch of sea salt to pineapple base, stirring gently to combine.

Let pineapple mixture steep for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld and develop full tropical profile.

In separate bowl, whisk together fresh lemon juice, lime juice, and cooled simple syrup until well combined.

Add honey, agave nectar, and vanilla extract to lemon mixture, whisking until completely dissolved.

Strain pineapple mixture through fine mesh strainer, pressing solids to extract maximum flavor, then discard solids.

Combine strained pineapple base with prepared lemonade mixture in large punch bowl, stirring thoroughly.

Add coconut water, coconut cream, and coconut extract to punch base, mixing until smooth and well incorporated.

Gently muddle fresh mint leaves and add to punch, allowing herbs to infuse for 5 minutes.
