Equipment

cocktail jigger
cocktail shaker (optional)
cocktail strainer (optional)
rocks glass (although any short glass will work)

Ingredients

1 ½ oz pineapple juice
½ oz lime juice freshly squeezed
2 oz vodka
3 oz sparkling water I recommend pineapple or lime-flavored

Garnishes

1 fresh pineapple wedge optional
1 lime wedge optional

Instructions

Prepare your garnishes if you're using them. (Optional - put your glass in the freezer for an extra cold drink!)
Add pineapple juice, lime juice, and vodka to a shaker cup. Add ice. Seal the shaker cup and shake until the cup feels very cold (about 30 seconds).
Fill a rocks glass with ice. Place a cocktail strainer on top of the cocktail shaker and strain the mixture into the glass.
Top with sparkling water and garnish with a pineapple wedge and a lime wedge. Cheers!

Notes

Please note that nutrition facts are an estimate and can vary widely based on amounts and specific types used.
No cocktail shaker or strainer? You can also build this drink right in the glass. (It will be less diluted but it will still taste good.) Start by adding ice, followed by vodka, then juices, then top with sparkling water and give it a gentle stir before garnishing.
