I just whipped up a fresh batch of pineapple-infused Plymouth gin! Seriously though, this is literally the easiest recipe ever:
Cut up a pineapple. If it isn’t fresh, it isn’t going to work. No canned fruit allowed!
Throw some of the pineapple in a jar.
Add some Plymouth gin. You want to get about equal parts of each ingredient by volume.
Let it sit for a few days, shaking several times per day.
Taste it. Does it need more pineapple? Add more pineapple.
When it tastes magnificent, strain and keep it in the fridge.
I use this one in lots of tropical cocktails such as:
- Captain Corcoran
- DeLuna Daiquiri
- Fernandez Punch
- And the one that put this particular infusion on the map, my version of the Police and Thieves
Happy infusing to you all!
