What to Mix with Pineapple Vodka

In our vodka and pineapple juice recipe, vodka offers a nice alcoholic base while its neutral taste provides a generous space for tropical sweetness of pineapple to shine. Since the drink is relatively versatile, there are thousands of combinations worthed a try.

Here we come with some ingredients that can get along nicely with vodka and pineapple juice base.

what to mix with pineapple vodka
  • Orange juice: The mix of orange juice and vodka might remind you of the classic Screwdriver. However, this drink is even more lip-smacking and perfectly balanced with the fresh pineapple juice. 
    Serve them over ice and you have a simple yet fancy drink for a get-together or party this summer.
  • Grape juice: If you want your tropical quencher to have a nice touch of sweetness, grapes juice-red, purple, or green- is your best friend. While the original vodka and pineapple juice was mixed with sugar, you can reduce or even remove sugar 
    Pair the drink with roasted meat in the main meal or drink it whenever you’re craving an easy cocktail.
  • Cranberry: Berry juice, especially cranberry, is an excellent companion to vodka. It offers a natural tart flavor with a pink hue which refreshes and makes your liquid visually appealing.
    Feel free to add some honey and syrup to your drink if you want to balance out the sour note from the berry.
  • Grapefruit: If pineapple juice is not enough to yield tropical spirit, grapefruit juice is waiting to bring an extra fruity punch. Another good news, no added sweetener is required since grapefruit juice can replace sugar in the recipe.

How to Juice a Pineapple without a Juicer

In case you don’t own a juice extractor at home, there is another method to juice fruit. All you need is a blender, a fine-mesh strainer, and a bowl, and you are on the way to make fresh pineapple juice any time.

ingredients

Below is a short instruction.

  1. Peel and cut the pineapple into chunks.
  2. Add them into a blender. You can add some water to the blender if the mixture is too thick to blend.
  3. Blend until there are no big chunks remaining, however, the mixture shouldn’t be too silky like a smoothie.
  4. Pour the juice through a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl.
  5. Collect the juice into a pitcher. 

How Long Does It Last?

Since vodka and pineapple juice contains alcohol, it should be consumed within the first 2 hours of making for the best quality and flavor.

To prolong your vodka and pineapple juice, keep it in an airtight container. This is to eliminate the oxygen exposure and toxicity, which potentially lower the nutrients in the juice.

Refrigerating can keep the juice fresh for 3 days and for extended shelf life, store it in a freezer for up to 2-3 months. When ready to use, place the juice at room temperature so that it can thaw gradually.
