Homebrew Pineapple Daiquiri

Infusing spirits is an incredibly easy technique that anybody can do. I chose a fairly neutral rum with just a bit of age. The resulting infused rum gets sugars from the pineapple, so I adjusted the recipe to compensate. The daiquiri here adds some overproof rum to the mix to add complexity and increase the ABV. You’ll note that there’s a good amount of froth generated from shaking the pineapple rum. This adds to the mouthfeel of the drink.

Instructions

Shake all ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled coupe.

Pineapple-infused rum: Core a pineapple and set the flesh aside. Cut the leftover core and skin into 2-3 inch long chunks. Put them into a sealable container and fully cover with rum. Seal the container and store in a dark, cool cabinet. Once a day, give it a shake and a taste. This should take 5-7 days depending on your preferences. Strain, filter and bottle the resulting rum.
