Pineapple
Coconut Rum
Vodka
Sparkling Water
Ice
Simple, refreshing, and delicious. Perfect for a hot summer day.
Can you use canned pineapple?
Sure, just make get the variety that is in 100% juice. Crushed or chunks would work fine.
Do you need to use sparkling water?
Nope, but if you leave that out you are going to have a deliciously strong cocktail, so be careful 😉
Can you leave out and the vodka and just use coconut rum?
Absolutely! I am just a big vodka fan, so you will find it in most of my cocktail creations. Like this Call Me A Cab Vodka Cocktail.

Serve this cocktail in a hollowed-out pineapple for a stunning presentation. Garnish with pineapple leaves and a slice of lime for an extra touch of elegance.
