Pineapple-Infused Vodka

Arrange pineapple slices artfully around the inner perimeter of a clean, 2-quart glass jar, leaving a small space in the center to facilitate even infusion. (5 minutes)

Gently pour vodka into the jar, ensuring that all pineapple slices are fully submerged. The vodka acts as a solvent, drawing out the natural flavors and aromas of the pineapple. (2 minutes)

Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Allow the mixture to infuse for 10 days, undisturbed. This period allows for optimal flavor extraction. (10 days)

After 10 days, carefully remove the pineapple slices from the vodka. Discard the pineapple, as it has imparted its flavor to the vodka. (5 minutes)

Strain the infused vodka through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth to remove any remaining sediment. This ensures a smooth and clear final product. (10 minutes)

Pour the strained pineapple-infused vodka back into the clean glass jar. Seal tightly and refrigerate for up to two weeks to maintain its fresh flavor. (5 minutes)
