This drink is such a crowd pleaser because it hits all the right notes. Sweet pineapple tangy lemonade and those fun bubbles from the Sprite create magic in your glass.

Switch Things Up

Sometimes I use ginger ale instead of Sprite for a little extra zing. You can also play around with different fruit juices to create your own special blend.

Grown Up Version

When I'm hosting adult parties I like to set out some rum or vodka on the side. Let everyone make their own tropical cocktail it's always a hit.

Make It Slushy

On super hot days I blend in frozen pineapple chunks instead of juice. It turns into this amazing frozen treat that keeps everyone cool.
