Pineapple Sage Infused Tequila Part Two

-
The first batch of Pineapple & Sage infused Tequila went so well, I thought I would try another batch - and perhaps try to increase the flavor.
If a little is good - more must be better, right?
Well, not necessarily.

I used the food processor to puree the pineapple before adding the sage and tequila, and the end result, after a week of infusing, was a 'juicier' product, with more pineapple flavor, but less alcohol kick, as I obviously extracted more liquid from the fruit. I am still not sure if I extracted more flavor, all I succeeded in doing was adding pineapple juice to tequila.

So a word of advice to those infusing fruit flavor into spirits.
Increase surface area, yes.
Pulverize into a pulp with food processor, no.
