Method
 

Prep Your Glass
  1. Start with a chilled tall glass or a mason jar to keep everything icy and refreshing. If you prefer a fancier presentation, rub the rim of the glass with a wedge of pineapple and dip it into sugar for a sweet rim.
Combine the Base Ingredients
  1. Pour Twisted Tea Original and pineapple juice into the glass. Stir gently to mix the flavors without losing carbonation from the tea. If you're adding coconut water, lime juice, or rum, pour them in at this step as well.
Add Fresh Pineapple
  1. Toss the pineapple chunks into the drink to infuse a fresh, fruity aroma and boost the pineapple flavor. For a smoother recipe, you can muddle the pineapple chunks slightly before adding them.
Fill with Ice
  1. Top off the glass with plenty of ice for a refreshing, cool sip. Crushed ice works best if you're looking for that tropical cocktail vibe.
Garnish and Serve
  1. Finish the drink with a sprig of mint and a wedge of pineapple on the rim. The mint adds freshness, while the pineapple wedge enhances the tropical aesthetic. If you're feeling adventurous, stick a small cocktail umbrella on top for added tropical vibe.
