Prepare Your Glass:
Chill your martini glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the drink. Once chilled, discard the ice water and set the glass aside. -
Mix the Cocktail:
In a cocktail shaker, combine vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup (if using). Fill the shaker with ice, close the lid, and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. -
Strain and Serve:
Strain the mixture into the chilled martini glass, ensuring no ice shards make it into the drink. -
Garnish and Enjoy:
Garnish with a pineapple wedge or lime wheel. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry for an extra burst of color and sweetness. Sip and enjoy!
Notes
- Fresh Pineapple Juice: For the best flavor, use fresh pineapple juice. While canned juice works as a substitute, it may not have the same richness.
- Sweetness Adjustment: Adjust the simple syrup according to your sweetness preference. You can skip it entirely if you prefer a less sweet drink.
- Shaking Tip: Make sure to shake the cocktail for 10-15 seconds to properly mix and chill the ingredients.
