Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole (medium-sized) Fresh pineapple
- 750 milliliters Vodka
Instructions
Peel the fresh pineapple by cutting off the top and bottom, then trimming off the skin around the sides. Remove any remaining 'eyes' with a small knife or a vegetable peeler.
Cut the peeled pineapple into chunks, approximately 1-inch in size.
Place the pineapple chunks into a large, clean glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid. Ensure the jar is large enough to hold the pineapple and the vodka with additional room for shaking.
Pour the vodka over the pineapple chunks, making sure they are fully submerged. Use more vodka if necessary to cover all the pineapple.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and store it in a cool, dark place. Let the pineapple infuse for 7 to 10 days, shaking the jar gently once a day to help distribute the flavors.
After the infusion period, taste the vodka to ensure it has reached the desired level of pineapple flavor. If more time is needed, allow it to sit for a few more days.
Once the infusion is complete, strain the vodka through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar to remove the pineapple pieces. Discard the pineapple or use it for another recipe (such as in desserts or smoothies).
Seal the bottle tightly and store the infused vodka in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
Serve over ice, mix into cocktails, or sip straight for a refreshing and tropical twist!
