Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 2 vanilla pods, sliced down the center
- 1 8-ounce can coconut water
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 pineapple (Can use 46-ounce can of pineapple chunks)
- 750 ML Everclear or plain moonshine
Tropical Pineapple Cocktail
- 4 oz Tropical Pineapple Moonshine
- 4 oz club soda
- Splash of lemon juice
- Crushed ice
Instructions
Pineapple Simple Syrup
- Combine pineapple juice, vanilla pods, coconut water, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir until the sugar dissolves, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the vanilla pods. Set aside and cool syrup.
Tropical Pineapple Moonshine
- Break down pineapple and slice into cubes if you're using a whole pineapple. Add cubes to a large bowl and mash with the back of wooden spoon. If you have muddling tools, you can use those to get the job done.
- Add moonshine and Pineapple Simple Syrup to the bowl. Stir to combine.
- Portion into 8-ounce mason jars. Split pods into equal segments so each jar has a vanilla pod inside.
- Store in a cool, dark place. If your pantry is out of direct sunlight, that's the perfect place for this infusion.
Tropical Pineapple Cocktail
- Combine Tropical Pineapple Moonshine and club soda in a glass. Add a splash of lemon juice and crushed ice, and stir to combine. Garnish with a slice of pineapple if you like, and enjoy your trip to the tropics!
Notes
As we always say, the longer a moonshine infusion sits, the better it gets. This infusion will store up to a year in a cool, dark place, but please imbibe responsibly.
