I made the most amazing flavored vodka.

Pineapple spears, thai basil, and mint. Put into an old gravy jar then I put it in the freezer for a week. Poured a couple of inches in a tall glass, and topped it with seltzer.

Refreshing, not to sweet and bracing.

Sounds delicious but why the freezer and fresh or canned pineapple? hedda_foil Jul 2017 #1

I find that when I cut a pineapple, or an avocado my hands break out.

I put it in the freezer because that's what I've always done with vodka, and I wasn't canning this.

I'm now eating the spears, and boy did they soak up the vodka!
