1
Prepare Fresh Pineapple
Cut the fresh pineapple into chunks. You will need about 4 pieces for the drink.
2
Juice the Lime
Squeeze the juice from the lime until you have 1 oz of fresh lime juice.
3
Make Simple Syrup (if not using store-bought)
In a small pot, combine equal parts sugar and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Let it cool before using.

4
Combine Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add the rum, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and fresh pineapple chunks.
5
Add Ice
Fill the shaker with ice cubes, about 1 cup.
6
Shake Well
Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to mix and chill the ingredients.
7
Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass filled with fresh ice. Optionally, garnish with a pineapple wedge or lime slice.
