Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker or large mixing pitcher – for mixing ingredients smoothly
  • Citrus juicer (manual or electric) – for fresh lemon and lime juice

Method
 

Step 1: Chill Everything
  1. For the best texture and flavor, chill your vodka, juices, and serving glasses for at least 30 minutes before mixing.
Step 2: Mix the Base
  1. In a large pitcher or cocktail shaker, combine:
  2. Vodka
  3. Pineapple juice
  4. Mango juice
  5. Lemon juice
  6. Lime juice
  7. Stir gently until fully blended.
Step 3: Sweeten to Taste

Step 5: Final Adjustments
  1. Taste again. Adjust acidity or sweetness if needed. Add optional floral or vanilla notes sparingly.
