Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
  • ½ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 3 cups cold water
  • ¾ cup lemony simply syrup, recipe follows
  • 6 ounce liquor, your choice (or up to 9 oz), omit to make it a mocktail
  • pineapple wedges, spikes, mint leaves, optional garnishes

Lemony Simple Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • zest of one lemon

Instructions

  • Combine all the ingredients in a high speed blender and pour over ice. Garnish as you like.
  • To make the Lemony Simply Syrup: before you juice the lemon, remove the zest. Combine the lemon zest, sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and allow to cool. (Or, combine the ingredients in a microwave safe container and nuke it for 2 minutes. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves, then allow to cool.)
