1 oz strawberry syrup (store-bought or homemade)
2 oz pineapple juice (preferably fresh)
1 oz fresh lemon or lime juice
3–4 fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

In a cocktail shaker or sturdy glass, muddle the fresh strawberries until juicy and broken down.
2. Add Liquids:

3. Shake:
Add ice and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the drink is chilled.

Notes & Tips
Homemade Strawberry Syrup:
Simmer 1 cup strawberries, ½ cup water, and ½ cup sugar until thickened. Cool and strain.
Make it frozen:
Blend everything with a cup of ice for a slushy version — frozen strawberry pineapple Henny!
Adjust sweetness:
Add more lemon/lime juice if you want it more tart, or more syrup for sweeter.
Batch version:
Multiply ingredients by 4–6x and serve in a big pitcher for a party punch.
Chill all ingredients first if you want less melted ice in the final drink.
