Optional Fizz
Method
Pineapple Base
Blend the fruit
Place the fresh pineapple chunks and fresh pineapple juice into a blender. Add the fresh lime juice. Pulse on high for 8–10 seconds until the mixture is smooth but still slightly textured. This creates a bright, fresh pineapple base.
If you prefer a silkier drink, strain the blended pineapple through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring cup, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids or reserve for another use.
Alcohol & Sweetener
Add the white rum, coconut rum, and simple syrup to the pineapple base in the measuring cup or back in the blender.
If using the blender: add the crushed ice and pulse 3–4 times just to chill and combine (do not fully liquefy; you want a slightly slushy consistency). If not using a blender, fill a cocktail shaker with crushed ice, pour the pineapple-alcohol mixture in, and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until well chilled.
Serve & Garnish
Fill a chilled highball or tiki glass halfway with crushed ice. Pour the blended/shaken pineapple cocktail over the ice.
Top gently with 2 oz club soda or sparkling water if you want a light fizz; stir once gently with a bar spoon to integrate (do not over-stir to preserve carbonation).
Garnish with a pineapple wedge on the rim, a sprig of fresh mint pushed into the drink, and optionally hang a dehydrated pineapple wheel on the rim for presentation.
Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy.
