STOLI DOLI TRULY A GUILTY PLEASURE


The Stoli Doli is a phenomenal drink made with (you guessed it) Stoli Vodka that is pineapple infused. Once you mix the pineapple with the vodka you let it sit for several days until the delicious fruity flavor instills throughout. The infusion also produces a smoothness that makes this drink so easy to enjoy. Now that your mouth is watering to try this drink, I have some news: it is illegal in Alabama for restaurants to infuse and sell liquor, so this heavenly piece of paradise cannot be served at local restaurants. However you can make it and serve it in your home and of course for all you travelers, here are a few suggestions on where to find the best!
1. Capital Grille (with locations in Atlanta, DC, and all over the United States visit www.capitalgrille.com)
2. Stephanie’s in Boston on Newberry Street (absolutely delicious!)
3. Bar 2222 in Houston (known for their decadent version of the drink)

“Capital Grille has pineapple flown in from Hawaii and it is sliced and put into a large, glass jar. The jar is then filled with Stoli vodka and left to sit for seven days. You can’t touch it until day eight. The result is no bite— just a nice, pineapple taste. We serve it in a martini glass.” —Jim Kinney, general manager, Capital Grille

Your very own recipe so at least you and your friends can enjoy this restaurant illegal elixir!
INGREDIENTS
• 1 fresh pineapple, cut into pieces
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle good quality vodka
DIRECTIONS
Place the pineapple pieces into a large container, and pour the vodka over them. Cover, and refrigerate for 3 to 4 days. Strain out pineapple, and serve vodka over ice with a pineapple garnish. Aloha taste buds!
