Frequent G Luxe readers know that we have a love affair with the wonderful islands of Hawaii. What's there not to love? Roasted pig, Hawaiian shaved ice, Little Beach (NSFW), and vodka. Vodka? Yes, vodka. Maui-based Pau Trading Company has recently launched Pau Maui Vodka, which uses pure Maui Gold pineapple juice as the base for their vodka. If you're scratching your heads how a sweet and tart fruit like pineapple could possibly make good vodka, relax. The flavors all disappear during the distillation and filtration process. Master distiller Mark Nigbur states: “There is no hint of pineapple in the taste. What the pineapple juice does is make a nice, clean mash.” Since the vodka is currently only available in the islands, the G Luxe crew has not had a sample. If there are any readers in Hawaii who've tried it, please drop us a note an let us know what you think. You can get more information at paumaui.com. via martini-lounge.blogspot.com
