Notes
Taste your pineapple juice before you mix, because brands vary in sweetness and you may want a little more or less lime. Chill your glass in the freezer for five minutes if you're serving outside.
To batch this for a party, combine 2 cups vodka, 4 cups pineapple juice, and the juice of 4 limes in a pitcher. Refrigerate for up to 4 hours, then pour over fresh ice at serving time. Never add ice to the pitcher; it waters everything down as it sits.
For a mocktail, replace the vodka with an equal amount of sparkling water, coconut water, or ginger beer.
I use Dole 100% Pineapple Juice and Tito's or Grey Goose for the vodka.
