Prime Cuts

This summer isn’t over yet and this refreshing cocktail is the perfect drink for a hot summer night that goes perfectly with dessert or fruit. The recipe is very easy and the simple syrup can easily be replaced with regular sugar and a touch of water to dissolve it and mix with the juice.

Ingredients:

2 oz Vodka- any vodka will be fine, just make sure it isn’t flavored. The pineapple will be flavor enough!
1/4 cup crushed pineapple with juice. You can buy the canned pineapples and use the cubes and the juice. or buy fresh pineapples and cut those to use as the garnish and use pineapple juice from a bottle. Either is fine, but the ones in the can are easier and soak up more of the juice and have a better consistency.
1/4 oz simple syrup

Preparation

In a shaker with ice, combine the vodka, pineapple juice, a couple cubes of pineapple and simple syrup. shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass.  Garnish with pineapple slices and a cherry.

Cheers!
