Pineapple Vodka was among my Mom’s favourite drinks. We used to frequent a well-known Boston eatery where they would keep an enormous glass vat on the bar filled with pineapple and Russian vodka. They would simply strain the pineapple vodka over ice into a martini glass with a pineapple wedge as a garnish. Cheers Mom.
