For the Pineapple Syrup: Combine pineapple chunks, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan on medium heat. Stir to combine and let simmer until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Cover and allow to infuse in the refrigerator at least 5 hours or overnight. Strain syrup through a fine mesh strainer and discard solids. Syrup will keep in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

For the Cocktail: In a tall glass filled with crushed ice combine tequila, coconut water, lime juice, and pineapple syrup. Swizzle together with a swizzle stick by rotating it between your hands as if you were rubbing your hands to get warm. (If you don't have a swizzle stick, stir with a barspoon.) Float Green Chartreuse on top, garnish with lime wheel, and serve.
