My GF bought a bottle, and mixed it with Pineapple Juice. Way to pineapply and too sweet. Not good. She wants something that will contrast and make a nice cocktail, maybe some other fruit juice.
Vodka tonic has always been my go-to. While plain with lime is the stand-by, whenever I’ve used flavored vodkas it’s a nice flavor, not too sweet, and just the nice subtle flavor that was meant with stuff like Absolut makes. I wouldn’t generally mix a flavored vodka with fruit juice personally.
My go-to addition for vodka is ice. A couple cubes in a rocks glass, healthy splash of vodka, sip appreciatively. If the first sip is a tad harsh, rest assured that the ice is melting.
Orange juice
Ice, a blender, and a straw.
(I’ll be right over!)

Maybe a coconut milk.
orange juice
lemonade
iced tea
club soda
ginger ale
**Stan **- can you clarify. Was the pineapple juice poured into the bottle with the vodka, so separating them would be difficult?
I think a few of the replies are assuming it was mixed after being poured, and you still have pristine vodka available.
No, it’s pineapple *flavored *vodka. Don’t ask how, we probably don’t want to know.
Nothing else too sweet. Ginger ale is really good, and I like to add just a splash of grenadine for pretty pretty.
Coconut milk or juice, sure. Instant vodka pina colada.
A “Fauxito” of sorts: muddle some mint leaves and add pineapple vodka and club soda, with or without lime juice.
Cranberry juice
Raspberry puree* and seltzer.
Heck, just seltzer, for that matter.
*Dang it. Prince song stuck in head now.
Vodka + Pineapple + Cranberry = Bay Breeze. I think I’d rather use unflavored vodka and pineapple juice, but if I had pineapple-flavored vodka, that’s what I’d do.
Midori would blend nicely, I’d think.
Disney’s Blue Glowtini? I made some this weekend. Still fillin’ out the new wet bar…
Orange-banana juice, a touch of drapefruit juice for tartness, and ice. Call it an “Oscar Wilde.”
Well, if we’re naming our drinks, vodka poured over two ice cubes is a “Putin”.
Vodka surreptitiously added to a bottle of diet green iced tea is a “Cry For Help”.
White wine, limoncello, pineapple chunks and diced lemon (peel and all). Fruity white sangria. It’s healthy if you eat the fruit.
