Ian says
Use for the rummy pineapple – grill it on a barbecue
Toni Dash says
Brilliant! Thanks for the idea.
Lisa J says
I was actually infusing light rum with pineapple when I decided goggle rum infusions and found this site. I use a whole fifth along with as much pineapple I can squeeze into a quart size ball canning jar and let it infuse for a month. I then decided I wanted a malibu rum type infusion for a added about a 1/2 teaspoon of coconut extract. Going to strain it now and see what I’ve got. Hopes it good.
Toni Dash says
That sounds great, Lisa! Let me know how it turns out. I tend to do smaller batches since I have a number of them going at once and can’t use it all up. Except for watermelon-infused tequila for summer margaritas; that I have a large infusion going all summer (recipe also on the blog).

I'm the founder/moderator for Punk Domestics (www.punkdomestics.com), a community site for those of use obsessed with, er, interested in DIY food. It's sort of like Tastespotting, but specific to the niche. I'd love for you to submit this to the site. Good stuff!
(P.S. I make a banana rum that's pretty damn good.)
Boulder Locavore says
Hi Sean! So nice to meet you and thank you for the invite. I will submit the recipe and I have other infusions too (being a DIY addict myself!). Will happily add more infusions as well.
RavieNomNoms says
Intense! So cool though! I am definitely going to have to try this.
Boulder Locavore says
I hope you will and please 'report back' with your thoughts when you do!
Kiri W. says
I do *not* like pineapple, but this sounds like a great method for all kinds of infusions. Very cool! 🙂
Boulder Locavore says
Absolutely! There really are no limits on infusing other than one's imagination!
notjustachick says
wow!! lovin' a breakfast w/ a kick idea. Offically on my shopping list : pineapple, spiced rum.
Thanks!
Boulder Locavore says
You are welcome!
Margaret says
Wow! Even though our Spring is farther away up here in the north of Canada, I am totally going to think positive and get this started right away, and Spring should be here when it's done – and if not, drinking this should bring it on. It sounds delicious.
Boulder Locavore says
Thanka Margaret and I agree with you; nothing like tropical flavors to bring on the sense summer has arrived!
Holly says
mmmmmmmmmmm This looks so fabulous. I'm going to have to get my hands on some rum.
Boulder Locavore says
I hope you will Holly! You won't be disappointed!
Alyssa says
Yum! I would totally just sip this straight, no need for a mixer!
Boulder Locavore says
I think if you use a good rum that is fabulous idea Alyssa!
Just for Cooking says
I love the booze section on the blog. Does that make me a lush? I will take a pina colada.
Boulder Locavore says
No, it does NOT make you a lush. It makes you my twin!
Natalie says
Strengthen my morning oatmeal, haha, I like the way you think!
Boulder Locavore says
A girl has to be creative with something this delicious!
Chef Dennis says
okay, I'm ready to belly up to the bar, one pina colada please!
I love the idea of pineapple rum, now really talking about a Colorado High!
Boulder Locavore says
I personally am not a Pina Colada lover BUT that is the first cocktail I thought of that I felt this would work nicely into. There are many tropical options I think!
Brian says
I’d do a Pineapple Mojito… or maybe just a traditional rum daiquiri (chilled shaken, and strained…)
BigFatBaker says
This sounds awesome! I love it 🙂 Can't wait to make some this summer when the weather is warmer 🙂
Boulder Locavore says
Thank Erin. I infused it about a month ago and figured I'd post it closer to Memorial Day but out spring is really like summer so the timing seemed right. Sadly I think that means summer with be beastly hot if it's in the high 80's now. More cocktails!
The Mom Chef says
Isn't there a beer that touts Colorado water as well? 😉 It makes total sense. I love the sound of pineapple-infused rum I'd go with light though).
Boulder Locavore says
Hmmm….think I know the beer you speak of! Frankly until I have gotten to know some distillers personally I did not think about the role of water quality and you are right, it does make sense. I think making this with light rum would be delish too.
