Ingredients:

  • 60 ml vodka
  • 90 ml 100% pure pineapple juice
  • 30 ml cranberry juice cocktail
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 lime wheel

Instructions:

  1. Chill the glass. Place your highball glass in the freezer for 5 minutes. Note: This prevents the ice from melting too quickly upon contact.
  2. Add ice. Fill the chilled glass with 1 cup of fresh ice. Watch for the frost to form on the glass.
  3. Measure the spirit. Pour 60 ml of vodka directly over the ice.
  4. Add pineapple juice. Carefully pour 90 ml of 100% pure pineapple juice into the glass.
  5. Incorporate cranberry. Add 30 ml of cranberry juice cocktail. Observe the red juice swirling through the yellow base.
  6. Stir gently. Use a long spoon to give one or two slow turns. Note: Over stirring ruins the sunset aesthetic.
  7. Prep the garnish. Slice a fresh lime wheel about 3mm thick.
  8. Finish the drink. Place the lime wheel on the rim or float it on top.
  9. Serve immediately. Drink while the ice is still solid and the juices are crisp.
