Pineapple Vodka

Since I am not personally a big hard liquor drinker, I typically don't get excited about vodka.  This pineapple vodka is the one exception.  I should warn you that if infused for long enough, you can hardly taste the liquor and it goes down quick!!

2 -1.75L of vodka
3 full pineapples
4-5 sprigs of rosemary
pineapple corer

The first thing you need to do is ensure you have a large enough glass container for the vodka to infuse in.  It should be able to fit in your fridge as well.  Next prep the pineapples for coring by trimming off the tops

   

Next use the corer to remove the usable fruit from the pineapple.  It will give you a big spiraled piece of pineapple that you should quarter up

  

Take each piece and delicately place it in the glass container along the edges.  Then add both bottles of vodka

  

Now this is the easy part--put it in the fridge and let it stay in there for 10 days.  Simple right?  After the 8th day, take some rosemary sprigs and add it to the middle of the container.  About 4-5 sprigs is perfect.  Mix it around a little and leave it in until the last day.

 

 

 

If you aren't serving the vodka right out of the spout within the next few days, you should strain the pineapple out and put the vodka into bottles.  Using a colander is best because the pineapple tends to flake.  We personally served it at our Halloween party this year on that 10th day so we did not drain it out.  Enjoy responsibly!
