60 ml 2 fl oz pineapple juice

Instructions
- Fill your glass: Add ice cubes to a highball glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
- Add the spirit: Pour the vodka over the ice.
- Pour the juices: Add the cranberry juice first, followed by the pineapple juice. The cranberry juice will naturally settle toward the bottom, creating a beautiful gradient effect.
- Stir gently: Use a bar spoon to give the cocktail 2-3 gentle stirs to combine the flavors while maintaining some color separation.
- Garnish and serve: Run the lime wheel around the rim of the glass, then drop it into the drink.
