French Martini

Description

Pineapple gives the French Martini its soft body and a fine froth when shaken, while Chambord adds dark raspberry flavour. Vodka leaves that fruit combination clear, and lemon peel brightens the nose. It’s a plush, fruit-forward drink with pineapple tang keeping the berry sweetness lively.

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Vodka
  • 20 ml Chambord
  • 40 ml Pineapple juice
  • Ice
  • Lemon twist

Instructions

  1. Add the vodka, raspberry liqueur and pineapple juice to a shaker filled with ice.
  2. Shake hard for 12 to 15 seconds to chill and aerate the pineapple.
  3. Fine strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
  4. Express a lemon peel over the surface and serve.
