Optional garnish: Fresh pineapple wedge and mint sprig
Instructions
Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
Add vodka, pineapple juice, and lime juice to the shaker.
Shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds until well chilled.
Fill a highball glass with fresh ice.
Strain the mixture into the glass.
Top with club soda (about 2-3 oz).
Gently stir with a bar spoon to combine.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and mint sprig if desired.
Notes
Fresh pineapple juice makes a big difference in taste compared to canned juice.Store-bought pineapple juice works fine in a pinch. Just make sure it's 100% juice with no added sugars.The drink can be made sweeter by adding 1/2 oz simple syrup.For a stronger pineapple flavor, muddle a fresh pineapple chunk in the shaker before adding other ingredients.Keep ingredients cold for the best results. Warm juice or vodka will melt the ice too quickly.
