Preparation

Step 1: Fill the glass with ice
Use a tall cocktail or highball glass and fill it to the top with fresh ice cubes.

Step 2: Add spirits and juice
Pour 1.5 oz pineapple rum, 1.5 oz sour apple pucker, and 1.5 oz pineapple juice over the ice.

Step 3: Stir to combine
Gently stir the mixture to combine the spirits and juice before topping.

Step 4: Top with Sprite
Top the drink off with Sprite or another lemon-lime soda to add bubbles and balance the tangy-sweet flavors.

Step 5: Garnish and serve
Add a pineapple slice, an apple wedge, and a maraschino cherry for a festive look. Serve with a straw and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Sprite balances the sweetness and adds carbonation—don’t shake it with the other ingredients or it may fizz over

  • Use chilled ingredients to avoid watering down the drink too quickly

  • Sour Apple Pucker provides a neon-green hue and tart finish—perfect for colorful cocktail vibes

  • Stir gently after topping with soda to preserve the bubbles

  • If using fresh apple, brush with lemon juice to prevent browning
