Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
- Start by juicing fresh pineapples to obtain 4 oz of pineapple juice. Fresh juice enhances the flavor and ensures a natural sweetness. Squeeze fresh lime juice as well, ensuring you have about 1 oz.
Mix the Ingredients
- In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes to fill it halfway. Pour in 1 ½ oz of Jack Daniels, 4 oz of fresh pineapple juice, 1 oz of lime juice, and ½ oz of simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink.
Shake It Up
- Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This helps to chill the mixture thoroughly and blend the flavors well.
Serve
- Strain the mixture into a highball or rocks glass filled with ice. This ensures a smooth, cold beverage without any ice chunks or pulp.
Garnish
- Add a slice of fresh pineapple to the rim of the glass for a tropical touch. You can also add a lime wedge or a maraschino cherry.
