I’m low-addicted to the Pineapple bubly sparkling water flavor. It tastes like Maui in a can, which is especially wonderful to drink right now since we’re all stuck at home and I really wish I were in Maui right now!)

This Pineapple Bubly Cucumber Spritzer recipe is easy to make with ingredients you don’t have to do specialty shopping for, it tastes so refreshing and, surprisingly, a bit like melon!

If you follow me on Instagram you know that I LOVE La Croix, specifically the Pamplemousse flavor (aka grapefruit) so that will always take the number one place in my heart. But the Pineapple Bubly totally takes second place.
There are a lot Bubly flavors ( lemon, lime, cherry, etc) that can all be used at the perfect mixer for tequila and vodka-based co*cktails. But this one uses the Pineapple Bubly and vodka with fresh cucumber to make a fruity yet not too sugary spritzer that’s perfect for spring and summer days.
And you probably already have all the ingredients. That was super important to me when making this recipe: since we all should be limiting our time outside I didn’t want to encourage ya’ll to go shopping for a niche ingredient.
Like cucumber vodka. You can buy cucumber vodka but there’s no need – it’s SO easy to make your own cucumber-infused vodka! Here’s how:
Cut 3-4 slices of cucumber and place in your co*cktail shaker. At 1 shot of vodka per serving and SHAKE it for at least 30 seconds. This infuses all the cucumber juices into the vodka!
The solution will be a light green color after and your vodka will have a cucumber scent and smell. Success!
Next, just add the ice and simple syrup and give it a few more shakes. Pour the mixture out in your serving glass with ice. Now it’s time to add the Pineapple Bubly – use about 1/3 of the can to top the glass off. Add in a fresh cucumber slice for garnish and BOOM.
You made a Pineapple bubly Cucumber Vodka Spritzer (that I like to think counts as my serving of vegetables for the day!)

Greetings, co*cktail enthusiasts! As an avid follower of the beverage world and a self-proclaimed sparkling water connoisseur, I find immense joy in experimenting with craft co*cktails using popular and easily accessible ingredients. My Instagram account, @thewhimsysoul, serves as a testament to my passion for mixing delightful concoctions that not only tantalize the taste buds but also bring a touch of whimsy to everyday life.
Now, let's delve into the delectable Pineapple Bubly Cucumber Spritzer recipe featured here. This refreshing beverage is born out of my love for the Pineapple Bubly sparkling water flavor, a tropical delight that transports you to the shores of Maui with every sip. The current global situation has confined us to our homes, and what better way to escape than through a homemade co*cktail that captures the essence of a sunny day in paradise?
But what sets this recipe apart is not just its flavor profile; it's the ingenuity of using everyday ingredients stocked in your pantry. The combination of Pineapple Bubly, cucumber, and vodka creates a spritzer that is both fruity and surprisingly reminiscent of melon. The versatility of Bubly extends beyond pineapple, with flavors like lemon, lime, and cherry, offering endless possibilities for crafting the perfect mixer for tequila and vodka-based co*cktails.
One highlight of this recipe is the homemade cucumber-infused vodka. While store-bought cucumber vodka is an option, I encourage you to take the DIY route for an extra layer of freshness. It's a simple process—just cut 3-4 slices of cucumber, place them in your co*cktail shaker with a shot of vodka, and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. The result is a light green cucumber-infused vodka that elevates the overall experience of the co*cktail.
To address the current need to minimize outdoor activities, I've intentionally crafted this recipe with readily available ingredients. No need for niche items or specialty shopping—just grab some fresh cucumber, Pineapple Bubly, vodka, and a few other staples from your kitchen.
