Pineapple Infused Vodka

Hello, my new friend! If you are looking for the perfect drink for those summer celebrations, stop right now and look no further.  My Baking Addiction posted this drink recipe recently and I knew I was going to try it.  The original drink name is Stoli Doli.  Get it?  Stoli vodka and Dole pineapple.  I was not quite so lucky to title my drink with such a catchy name since my pineapple was Del Monte and I had Grey Goose vodka on hand.  Bummer, eh?  Well the results I am sure are just the same.  How can one go wrong with the Goose?  Please drink these with caution, although they will not taste like pure vodka, they are.  Enjoy!

Pineapple Infused Vodka A.K.A Stoli Doli

Ingredients:
1 whole pineapple
1 750ml bottle of vodka (do not discard bottle)
sugar for rimming the glasses

Directions:
Cut the pineapple into large chunks and place in a beverage container.  Fill container until pineapple is completely covered with vodka.  Let sit in refrigerator for 12 to 14 days.  When ready, strain pineapple from vodka and return the vodka to its original bottle.  Serve chilled in sugar rimmed glasses.  Store remaining vodka in refrigerator for two to three weeks.
