I like to serve mine up in a tall mason jar cup with lots of fresh ice cubes for a quick cool-down cocktail. This easy summer pineapple cocktail is easily enjoyed on the patio or poolside in the hotter months of July and August (when tropical fruits are at their peak)!
To get the best taste, I highly recommend using fresh ripened cubes of pineapple. This is the sweetest candy-like fruit you can get, and it makes a delicious summer vodka cocktail with just 4 ingredients. Just crush the fruit, shake it up, strain, and sip all summer long when you crave a super simple refreshing tropical vodka cocktail.

Instructions To Make an Easy Iced Vodka Pineapple Drink
This Easy Pineapple Summer Vodka Cocktail is a simple Cooling Summer Drink
As I mentioned earlier, this simple, vibrant, fruity pineapple cocktail makes a great pool drink. Enjoy this easy summer vodka cocktail with a light grilled dinner on the patio or serve in rounds for friends as a quick cocktail with basic ingredients.
You can easily create variations of this basic pineapple vodka cocktail by adding mango chunks, fresh cubed strawberries, or blueberries. Simply toss in with the pineapple and muddle all together. You’ll get a strawberry pineapple cocktail, or a fresh blueberry pineapple cocktail in minutes.
Remember to use a basic cocktail strainer to strain out all the fibrous fruits from the liquids so that you end up pouring a delicious, juicy drink!
If desired, top it all off with sparkling prosecco, or good-tasting mineral sparkling water for a fizzy finish.
