How to Make Diamond Pineapple Infused Mason Jar Vodka

Prep time: 30 minutes · Ready in: 30 days

This is one of those recipes that feels impressive but is almost effortless. Fresh pineapple plus citrus vodka makes a smooth, tropical infusion that tastes like you know exactly what you're doing. The only catch? You need a little patience.

Why this recipe works: Only 2 ingredients, no special equipment needed, big flavor payoff for minimal effort, and it's perfect for cocktails, gifts, or entertaining.

Ingredients:

  • 1 fresh pineapple
  • 1 bottle citron/citrus vodka

How to make it:

  1. Slice the fresh pineapple into chunks or wedges.
  2. Pack the pineapple into a Mason jar.
  3. Fill the jar with vodka until the pineapple is fully covered.
  4. Seal and store at room temperature.
  5. Let it infuse for about 30 days.
  6. Strain if you'd like, then serve.

What it tastes like: Sweet, citrusy, and smooth, with just enough brightness from the lemon vodka to keep it from being overly sugary.

How to use it: Serve chilled over ice, mix into cocktails, add to sparkling water for something lighter, or use as a base for tropical drinks.

Pro tips: Use ripe pineapple for the best flavor, keep the fruit fully submerged to avoid spoilage, and remember, the longer it sits, the smoother it gets.

*Note: A sealed Mason jar with a snug-fitting lid is really all you need here. If you want to make this a gift, pairing it with a reCAP POUR Lid makes pouring shots or cocktails much cleaner.
