  • Bar spoon or long spoon
  • Strainer
  • Cutting board and knife

Method
 

  1. Fill your highball glass with ice to chill it while you prepare the drink.
  2. Add 6 to 8 ice cubes to your cocktail shaker.
  3. Pour 1.5 ounces of vodka into the shaker.
  4. Add 3 ounces of cranberry juice to the shaker.
  5. Pour 3 ounces of pineapple juice into the shaker.
  6. Seal your shaker and shake vigorously for 10 to 15 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
  7. Pour out the ice water from the chilled glass.

Notes

Use equal parts cranberry and pineapple juice for balanced flavor. Always shake with ice rather than stirring for proper chilling and texture. Chill your glass before serving for best results. For a sparkling version, top with club soda. For a virgin version, omit vodka and use 2 ounces each of cranberry and pineapple juice.
