Cocktail

2 oz Tito's Vodka3 oz Pineapple juice (preferably cold, fresh or pasteurized)1 oz Pineapple purée (smooth, unsweetened if possible)1/2 oz Lavender syrup1/2 oz Fresh lemon juice1 cup Ice (cubes)

Garnish

1 piece Pineapple wedge or leaf1 sprig Lavender sprig (optional)1 piece Lemon wheel (optional)

Method

Cocktail

Prepare and measure

Chill a Collins or highball glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. Measure out Tito's Vodka (2 oz), pineapple juice (3 oz), pineapple purée (1 oz), lavender syrup (1/2 oz), and fresh lemon juice (1/2 oz).

Build and shake

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with fresh ice. Add vodka, pineapple juice, pineapple purée, lavender syrup, and lemon juice to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is frosty and the purée is fully dispersed.

Prepare serving glass

Discard the ice water from the chilled glass if used. Fill the glass with fresh ice cubes (about 3/4 full) to keep the drink cold and properly diluted.

Strain and serve

Double-strain the shaken mixture into the prepared glass using a cocktail strainer and, if available, a fine mesh strainer to remove pulp for a smoother texture. Pour gently to keep a slight froth on top.

Garnish & Finish

Garnish the drink with a pineapple wedge on the rim and a small lavender sprig tucked alongside it. Optionally float a thin lemon wheel on top for extra citrus aroma. Serve immediately with a straw.
