When summer arrives, nothing beats the Stoli Doli—a refreshing twist on the classic martini that combines Stolichnaya vodka with the vibrant sweetness of fresh pineapple.
I discovered this gem at a beachside bar in the Caribbean. The bartender shared that the Stoli Doli was a signature cocktail, with vodka infused with pineapple for weeks to create a naturally sweet and potent spirit.
Intrigued, I was determined to recreate it at home. Infusing the vodka with pineapple turns an ordinary spirit into something extraordinary.
The tropical sweetness pairs perfectly with the smooth vodka, making this cocktail a hit at any summer gathering. Share this homemade treat with friends and let them enjoy the taste of a beach vacation, even if you’re far from the shore.

Tips You Should Try!
- Choose a Ripe Pineapple: For the best flavor, make sure your pineapple is fully ripe. Look for one with a sweet aroma at the base and slightly soft to the touch. A ripe pineapple will infuse more sweetness into your vodka.
- Use a Glass Container: While any container will work, a glass drink dispenser is ideal. It doesn’t impart any unwanted flavors and allows you to see the infusion process.
- Taste Test During Infusion: Around the 10-day mark, give the vodka a taste. If it’s flavorful enough, you can strain it early. If not, let it continue infusing until it reaches your desired strength.
- Stir Occasionally: Gently stir or shake the container every few days to ensure the pineapple pieces are evenly infusing the vodka.
