Each summer Casey and I seem to have a summer signature drink. Last summer is was Sweet Tea Vodka (FireFly is the best) and Country Time Lemonade... SO good...
This summer we have classed it up a little bit and are all about the pineapple infused martinis. I have seen these at nice restaurants and bars, but haven't gotten the urge to shell out $11 - $18 for ONE drink.
Mom and Dad have been infusing pineapple in vodka for a little while, but the first time I had it was when I was most recently back in Colorado...and boy was that Yummy!
So, Casey and I decided to try it.
We first made it with one pineapple and 750ml of vodka...let it sit in the jar for a week, and then had some people over and it was gone very quickly...
So we are making it again on a larger scale...and this is how:
You will need -
A glass container to put your pineapple deliciousness in, kind of like this one. You can get them at World Market or Bed Bath & Beyond... I am sure other places have them too.
Three fresh pineapples...When I went to Publix to get mine, they didn't have any out, just some in the back and the tops had been chopped off, maybe to make shipping easier? I don't know...
Vodka...I got the "inexpensive" stuff...not the cheapest but just a step or two above it, I'm on a budget!
Next:
Cut the outside off of the pineapple, then slice, and cut the slices in half....
Next layer them in the pineapple in a design, if you are a Type A personality like me, or just toss it in if you are like my brother, Type B...
Then all you have to do is add vodka!
Let it sit for a week to a week and a half.
Shake it with Ice and enjoy!
