The Pina Colada Summertime Artisan Vanilla Extract Blend

Close your eyes and imagine the taste of a perfectly blended piña colada — sweet pineapple, creamy coconut, a hint of warm spice, and the rich depth of premium vanilla. We've captured that iconic summertime flavor in an artisan extract blend designed to last for years, bringing the spirit of summer to your baking, gelatos, cocktails, and beyond. Whether you're enhancing a classic piña colada or adding a tropical twist to your favorite baked goods, this blend delivers that sun-soaked flavor in every drop.

A Masterful Blend of Premium Ingredients - Lasts for Years

We've carefully selected seven exceptional ingredients to create this tropical extract blend:

• Freeze-Dried Pineapple Diced — The star of the piña colada, freeze-dried pineapple  delivers an intensely bright, tangy-sweet tropical flavor that fresh pineapple simply can't match in an extract. The freeze-drying process locks in the fruit's natural sugars and acids, infusing the spirit with a vivid, sun-ripened pineapple character that forms the backbone of this blend.
• Dried Coconut Flakes — Creamy, rich, and subtly sweet, coconut brings the signature tropical creaminess that makes a piña colada so irresistible. It rounds out the sharpness of the pineapple with a smooth, buttery depth that evokes white sand beaches and warm ocean breezes.
• Honey Crystals — A touch of natural sweetness that ties the whole blend together. Honey crystals add a delicate floral warmth that enhances both the fruit and vanilla notes without overpowering them, creating a beautifully balanced, smooth finish.
• Ginger — A subtle but essential player, ginger adds a gentle warmth and zesty brightness that lifts the entire blend. It provides just enough spice to keep things interesting, complementing the tropical sweetness and adding a lively complexity that keeps your palate engaged.
• Hawaiian Vanilla Beans — Rare and prized, Hawaiian vanilla beans bring a delicate, floral, and slightly fruity vanilla flavor with hints of cherry and caramel. Their unique terroir — born from the volcanic soils of Hawaii — makes them a perfect tropical companion to the pineapple and coconut, adding an exotic, nuanced sweetness.
• Madagascar Vanilla Beans — The world's most beloved vanilla, Madagascar beans deliver the classic, rich, creamy vanilla flavor with deep, sweet, and slightly smoky undertones. They anchor the blend with a bold vanilla foundation that enhances every other ingredient, creating a cohesive, full-bodied tropical extract.
• Comoros Vanilla Beans — Grown on the volcanic islands of the Indian Ocean, Comoros vanilla beans are celebrated for their distinctively sweet, marshmallowy vanilla richness. Smooth, indulgent, and beautifully rounded, the Comoros beans complete the trio of world-class vanillas in this blend — adding a layer of soft, pillowy sweetness that perfectly mirrors the creamy, dreamy character of a great piña colada. Together, the Hawaiian, Madagascar, and Comoros vanilla beans form the ideal vanilla foundation for this tropical blend.

Together, these seven ingredients work in perfect harmony — the bright acidity of pineapple, the creamy richness of coconut, the floral sweetness of honey, the warm zing of ginger, and the layered complexity of three world-class vanillas — to recreate the unmistakable taste of a piña colada in extract form.

Spirits Recommended For This Blend:

• All-Natural Coconut Rum (70–100 Proof) — The ultimate piña colada pairing. An all-natural coconut rum in the 70–100 proof range provides the ideal extraction environment — enough alcohol to fully draw out the aromatic complexity of all three vanilla origins and the freeze-dried pineapple, while the spirit's natural coconut character weaves seamlessly into the blend. The result is a tropical vanilla extract that tastes like summer in a bottle. Look for all-natural coconut rums without artificial flavoring for the best results.
• Hawaiian Rum — Lean into the tropical theme with a Hawaiian rum that echoes the island origins of the Hawaiian vanilla beans, creating a seamlessly cohesive piña colada flavor.
• White Rum — The classic piña colada spirit. Light and clean, white rum lets the pineapple, coconut, and vanilla flavors shine without competition.
• Vodka — A neutral base that allows the full complexity of the blend to take center stage, delivering a pure, vibrant tropical extract perfect for baking and cooking.

Simple to make: Just add all of the contents of the pouch (including the separately packaged vanilla beans) to an extract jar of your choice, and add your spirit. Follow these simple instructions:

• 2oz oz Pouch: Add to 10oz of Spirits
• 4oz Pouch: Add to 20oz of Spirits
• 8oz Pouch: Add to 40 oz of Spirits
• 1lb Pouch: Add to 80 oz of Spirits

Important Tip: Freeze Dried fruit and other dried ingredients are thirsty and will absorb some of the alcohol. Top off spirits if alcohol drops below the ingredients to ensure ingredients are fully submerged during extraction for maximum results. Some ingredients will float at first. Fermentation weights in mason jars are recommended for making Artisan extract blends. If you don't have mason weights, manually press the ingredients down during the first week of extraction until they absorb the liquid and sink on their own.  

After 2 Months:

• Remove all of the ingredients by pouring the extract through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter.
• Return the vanilla beans and the extract to the jar to rest for 10 more months.

After 12 Months:

• Taste test your extract to ensure it meets your desired flavor profile. If you would like more pronounced vanilla flavor, let it extract for another month or longer, taste testing monthly.
