Notes
Fresh pineapple juice makes a big difference in taste compared to canned versions. Store any leftover drink mixture without club soda in the fridge for up to 2 days.
The simple syrup can be adjusted based on sweetness preference. Start with less and add more to taste.
For extra flair, freeze small pineapple chunks to use as ice cubes. They won't water down the drink and add more flavor as they melt.
