PINEAPPLE INFUSED!


A great summertime treat is infusions! It's a fun way to spruce up your at-home cocktails by using fresh fruit and herbs to add a bit of complexity to your vodka, tequila, rum or any favorite spirit of your choice. This month we feature some easy infusion ideas to try for your next weekend! This week: PINEAPPLE!

Pineapple Infusion!
      Using a Mason Jar (check out the Fresh+Twist Mason Jar Post) or any container with a air tight seal, cut up fresh Pineapple and place in jar. Add your favorite spirit: Vodka, Tequila, Rum are my favorites...Cover tightly with a lid & shake a few times to mix ingredients. Store your infusion in a cool, dark place and shake it 3-5 times a day for the duration of the infusion. On average the ingredients should stay in the liquor for 3-5 days. Once the infusion time is finished & the flavor is just perfect, fine strain the spirit into another clean jar or bottle. Store the finished infusion in the fridge or room temperature is ok too. Mix the infusion with soda or simply drink as is over ice for a perfect home infusion!
