Make a Stoli Flavor Specialty Cocktail: Quick and Easy Recipes

So, the other day I got this wild hair to try making some cocktails at home. Nothing fancy, just wanted to see if I could whip up something tasty without blowing up the kitchen. I stumbled upon this thing called “Stoli Doli,” and it sounded simple enough—vodka and pineapple, can’t mess that up, right?

First things first, I grabbed a bottle of Stolichnaya vodka. I mean, “Stoli” is in the name, so that seemed like a no-brainer. Then I picked up a fresh pineapple. Now, I’ve sliced pineapples before, usually just for eating, but this time it was for science… or mixology, whatever you want to call it.

Prepping the Pineapple

  • Chopped off the top and bottom of the pineapple. It was like performing surgery but way less stressful.
  • Cut the pineapple into these little chunks. I tried to make them all the same size, but let’s be real, they were all over the place. Good enough, I figured.

Next up, I got this big glass jar—the kind my grandma used to store pickles in—and I dumped all those pineapple chunks in there. Then I poured the entire bottle of Stoli over the pineapple. It felt kind of wrong, like I was pickling the pineapple in vodka, but hey, that’s the recipe.

I sealed the jar tight and stashed it in the back of my fridge. The instructions said to let it sit for about 12 days. Twelve days! That’s like an eternity when you’re waiting for something. But I marked my calendar and tried to forget about it.

Fast forward to day 12, and I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I yanked that jar out of the fridge, and the pineapple had turned this pale color, and the vodka had a golden hue. It smelled pretty good, like a tropical vacation in a jar.

Mixing the Cocktail

  • Strained the vodka into another container, making sure to get all that pineapple goodness out.
  • Filled a glass with ice. Because no one likes a warm cocktail unless it’s supposed to be warm, which this one wasn’t.
  • Poured some of that infused vodka over the ice. I didn’t measure, just eyeballed it. Live a little, you know?

I took a sip, and wow, it was actually pretty good! The vodka had this sweet pineapple flavor, and it went down smooth. It was refreshing, a little bit dangerous, and perfect for a lazy afternoon. I ended up making a few more, just to make sure I got the “recipe” right, of course.

So, there you have it. My adventure in making Stoli Doli. It wasn’t rocket science, but it was a fun little experiment. And the best part? I’ve got a whole jar of this stuff, so it looks like my weekends are sorted for a while. Cheers to that!
