Key takeaways
- **Yield:** 1 cocktail **Glassware:** Highball or Collins glass **Ice:** Cubed ice for shaking and serving
- Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds.
- Pour in the club soda and stir once, gently, to combine.
- **Taste the pineapple juice first.** If it is especially sweet, omit the simple syrup. If it is sharp or unsweetened, use the full ¼ oz (7.5 ml).
- **For a stronger pineapple flavour**, replace plain vodka with pineapple-flavoured vodka, but keep the syrup optional because flavoured vodkas vary in sweetness.
Bright, tropical and gently tart, this easy pineapple vodka cocktail balances sweet pineapple juice with fresh lime. Shaking is essential: it chills the drink, adds dilution and creates pineapple’s characteristic foamy top.
Yield: 1 cocktail
Glassware: Highball or Collins glass
Ice: Cubed ice for shaking and serving
Ingredients
- 2 oz (60 ml) vodka
- 3 oz (90 ml) pineapple juice
- ½ oz (15 ml) fresh lime juice
- ¼ oz (7.5 ml) simple syrup
- 1 oz (30 ml) chilled club soda
- Pineapple wedge or lime wheel, for garnish
Method
- Fill the glass with fresh ice and set it aside.
- Add the vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker.
- Fill the shaker about three-quarters full with ice. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds.
- Strain into the prepared glass.
- Pour in the club soda and stir once, gently, to combine.
- Garnish with a pineapple wedge or lime wheel.
Useful Adjustments
- Taste the pineapple juice first. If it is especially sweet, omit the simple syrup. If it is sharp or unsweetened, use the full ¼ oz (7.5 ml).
- For a stronger pineapple flavour, replace plain vodka with pineapple-flavoured vodka, but keep the syrup optional because flavoured vodkas vary in sweetness.
- If the drink tastes flat, add another small squeeze of lime rather than more vodka; acidity usually restores the balance.
