Directions
- Add the first three ingredients to a mixing glass and fill it three quarters with ice.

Pineapple-infused Lillet
Fill a mason jar ¾ with fresh or frozen pineapple. Cover with Lillet Blanc, close the jar and give it a gentle shake. Let the jar sit for at least 2 hours (for frozen) or at least 24 hours (if using fresh) then strain through a fine mesh strainer. Store in the fridge for up to two weeks.
