Ingredients
2 oz pineapple juice
1 oz fresh lemon juice
Ice (crushed or cubed)
Sugar (for rimming the glass)
Lemon wedge or slice (for garnish)
Instructions
Rub a lemon wedge around the rim of your serving glass. Dip the rim into sugar to coat. Set aside.
In a cocktail shaker, combine pineapple juice and fresh lemon juice.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for 15 seconds until well chilled.
Fill the prepared glass with crushed ice.
Strain the shaken cocktail into the glass over the ice.
Garnish with a lemon wedge or slice and serve immediately.
Notes
For an extra punch, add 1 oz vodka to make it a spiked version.
Chill the glass beforehand to keep your drink colder longer.
You can use canned pineapple juice, but fresh gives the best flavor.
Add a splash of simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter profile.
