2. Mix the Base:

   • In a large pitcher, combine the pineapple juice, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Stir well.

3. Add Sparkling Water:

   • Just before serving, gently stir in the soda water or sparkling water to keep the fizz.

4. Serve:

   • Pour the pineapple-lime mixture over the ice.

   • Garnish each glass with a lime slice and a pineapple wedge on the rim.

5. Optional Twist:

   • For an adult version, add 1 oz white rum or vodka per glass.
