• 150g sugar

• 150ml water

• Tiny pinch of salt

• Little vodka to preserve (optional)

- Peel, core and chop the pineapple. - Add 200g pineapple and sugar to a bowl. - Rest for 3 hours or overnight (until sugar draws out the liquid). - Add the water and heat gently until sugar dissolves - Pour through a strainer into a bottle . Add the vodka to make it last longer.

Then to make the cocktail:
