Instructions
Preparation Steps
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice.
Add bourbon, pineapple juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup to the shaker.
Shake vigorously until well-chilled and slightly frothy, about 12 to 15 seconds.
Fill a highball or rocks glass with fresh ice and strain the cocktail into the glass.
Top with club soda and add the Angostura bitters.
Garnish with a pineapple wedge and serve immediately.
Notes
Adjust sweetness to taste by increasing or reducing the simple syrup. For a lighter fizz, add more club soda. To batch for a crowd, multiply ingredients and stir with ice in a pitcher; add club soda just before serving. Make simple syrup by simmering equal parts sugar and water until dissolved, then cool.
