Favorite Infusions

I am a huge fan of infusions.  A little bit of prep work chopping and then time does all the work for you!  I’m all for things that are busy working, while I am going about my business.

My most popular infusions on the blog are my Winter Solstice Brew and my Lavender Infused Gin.    Trying to pick my favorite infusion would be like trying to pick my favorite child, I have so many (infusions not children!)  You can see them all here – Infusions.

This is my first time though trying a Pineapple Jalapeño Infused Tequila.

Mason jar filled with tequila, pineapple and jalapeno.

Infusing Tequila

I started thinking about making a Pineapple Jalapeño Infused Tequila after I had an incredible Pineapple Jalapeño Margarita at a local restaurant.   I immediately envisioned some infused tequila in my future.

This isn’t my first time infusing tequila, I’ve also made a Watermelon Infused Tequila – which I highly recommend!  Turns every margarita into a little bit of summer.

Pineapple Jalapeño Infused Tequila

The secret to this Pineapple Jalapeño Infused Tequila is tasting it along the way.  Jalapeños infuse faster than pineapple, or rather, I get the amount of heat I need faster than I get the pineapple flavor that I want.  To infuse with jalapeño, I just took a whole pepper and cut it through lengthwise, but leaving it attached at the top.

I diced about a cup of pineapple and added it along with the jalapeño to one and one half cups of tequila.  I toped it with my favorite Mason Jar Tap and set it on the counter.

After just one day, the jalapeño had added the perfect heat level for me.  I don’t like it too hot, just a hint of heat at the back of your throat.  Testing it each day, I had the pineapple level I liked at about day 3.

A little tip for what to do with that tequila soaked pineapple – I scooped it out of the jar and did a quick puree with a blender and stored it in a jar in the freezer.  I plan on adding some of it to the pineapple jalapeño margaritas  that are sure to be in my immediate future!

Makes a great gift for cocktail lovers too!

    I want to infuse this as a Christmas present! Can you let it steep longer than the 3 days? Will the jalapeño’s or pineapples go bad?

      You can let it steep longer, but it will get hotter, so you’ll need to taste test along the way.

    Not only do you get pineapple infused tequila, but you also get tequila infused pineapple! I bet those pineapple slices will make your head spin! Such a cool idea, pinning to my drink board.
