Pineapple Infused Vodka Recipe
Tropical sunshine in a bottle—that’s what you get with this Pineapple Infused Vodka recipe. Sweet, tangy, and bursting with juicy flavor, pineapple transforms ordinary vodka into a refreshing tropical treat. Whether you’re mixing it into a classic cocktail or enjoying it on the rocks, this infusion is the ultimate way to add a splash of paradise to your drinks.
This recipe makes it easy to craft a flavorful, homemade spirit. Fresh pineapple is the star, releasing its natural sweetness and vibrant aroma as it steeps in the vodka. The result? A perfectly balanced liquor with a hint of tropical tang that’s not overly sweet. If fresh pineapple isn’t available, canned pineapple in juice works just as well, making this infusion versatile and accessible year-round.
Perfect for summer poolside gatherings or cozy winter evenings when you’re dreaming of warmer days, Pineapple Infused Vodka adds versatility to your home bar. Pair it with citrus juices for zesty cocktails, mix it with soda water for a lighter option, or use it as the base for creative, tropical-inspired drinks.
Let’s dive into this simple, flavorful recipe that will elevate your cocktails and transport your taste buds straight to the tropics.
Pineapple Infused Vodka Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups vodka
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned in juice, drained
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple: If using fresh pineapple, remove the rind and core, then cut the flesh into small chunks. If using canned pineapple, drain well to remove excess liquid.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the pineapple chunks to a clean, sterilized glass jar. Pour the vodka over the pineapple, ensuring all pieces are fully submerged.
- Seal and Steep: Seal the jar tightly and store it in a cool, dark place. Shake gently each day to ensure the flavors infuse evenly.
- Taste and Strain: After 5–7 days (taste-test on day 5 to check the flavor), strain the vodka through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle. Press the pineapple gently to extract remaining liquid, but avoid over-squeezing to maintain clarity.
- Store: Seal the bottle tightly and store it in a cool, dark spot. The infused vodka will keep for up to 3 months.
Notes
Complements grilled seafood, fresh fruit platters, or spicy appetizers. Perfect Mixes: Combine with coconut water for a refreshing tropical cooler.
