Beverages » Pineapple Vodka
Eastern Standard's Mixologist Kevin Martin demonstrates a tropical and fragrant pineapple vodka infusion. Choose the ripest, juiciest pineapple available, and freeze small pieces for 3 hours before soaking in vodka. The ice crystals that form during freezing cause the fruit's cell walls to burst, and leach more juicy flavor into the liquor. Let the mixture sit for 7 days, strain, and use in any cocktail recipe.
