Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add 2 ounces of vodka, 4 ounces of pineapple juice, and ½ ounce of fresh lime juice.
Shake for 20 seconds, until the outside of the shaker feels frosty.
Strain into a tall glass filled with fresh ice.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge or lime wheel and serve.
Notes
Ratio: 2 oz vodka to 4 oz pineapple juice per drink is the perfect starting point — adjust to taste.For a pitcher (serves 8): Combine 2 cups vodka, 4 cups pineapple juice, and juice of 4 limes. Refrigerate up to 4 hours. Pour over ice at serving time — do not add ice to the pitcher.Grenadine layer: After pouring the cocktail over ice, slowly pour ¼ oz grenadine down the inside edge of the glass. It sinks to the bottom for a beautiful ombré gradient.Mocktail version: Replace vodka with sparkling water, coconut water, or ginger beer.Juice brand: Dole 100% Pineapple Juice is recommended for the best flavor. Use 100% juice with no added sugar.Vodka brand: Tito's or Grey Goose recommended for smooth, clean flavor.
