Ingredients

  • 2 oz white rum or vodka choose one
  • 1 oz lime juice fresh
  • 1 oz pineapple juice
  • 0.5 oz grenadine or pomegranate syrup
  • 2 oz club soda
  • 1 tsp natural sweetener optional, to taste
  • mint leaves garnish
  • lime wedge garnish
  • ice cubes for shaking and serving

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add rum or vodka, lime juice, pineapple juice, and grenadine.

Notes

Balance is key—adjust grenadine and lime to taste. Try variations: add a dash of chili syrup for a Spicy Joker, berry puree for a Berry Joker, or blend with ice for a Frozen Joker. For a virgin version, omit the alcohol and add extra pineapple juice.
