Infused Vodka

Jase and I have been to Roy's Hawaiian Fusion restaurant a couple times since we have lived here.  Each time I have had a pineapple martini, YUM!  The description says it's made with pineapple infused vodka.  I never really thought much about it.  The last time we went I happened to see a huge glass beverage dispenser full of pineapple and vodka.  I looked it up on the internet and it's as simple as a bunch of cut up pineapple in the bottle with vodka and TA DA, you have pineapple infused vodka. 

 Jase has started brewing his own beer so I think that inspired me to infuse some vodka.  Also...I just like to make things.  :)  We used Tito's becuase it's delicious vodka that is made in Austin, Texas.

 So I poured the vodka in a bowl, and cut up a beautiful Hawaiian pineapple.  We also prepared the pineapple top to plant.  It takes a year and half for a pineapple to start growing so we'll see how that one goes.

 I then stuffed the vodka bottle full of the pineapple.

I poured the vodka back into the bottle and in about 2 weeks we should be enjoying our vodka! 

We have some leftover vodka of course so we tried a new drink tonight. 

1/2 lime, juiced with the spent lime dropped in the glass

Ice

2 ounces vodka

4-6 ounces ginger beer

It's called a Moscow Mule and it is delicious and refreshing and crisp, kind of like a gin and tonic. You could use ginger ale but ginger beer has more of a bite to it.
