1
Prepare the Pineapple
Peel and core the fresh pineapple, then cut it into small chunks.
2
Cook the Simple Syrup
In a medium saucepan, combine the pineapple chunks, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Simmer
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
4
Strain the Syrup
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container, discarding the solids. Refrigerate until ready to use.

5
Prepare the Glass
Fill a glass with ice cubes to keep the drink chilled.
6
Mix the Drink
In the glass, combine the prepared pineapple simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. Stir well to mix.
7
Add Sparkling Water
Slowly pour in the sparkling water, stirring gently to combine without losing the fizz.
8
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with fresh pineapple wedges and serve immediately for a refreshing drink.
