Why You'll Love This Easy Pineapple Martini co*cktail Recipe
This tropical co*cktail is:
- Easy to make with simple ingredients that you likely have in your bar and pantry.
- Refreshing and perfectly sweet and tangy.
- Visually so pretty to serve with a pineapple wedge and maraschino cherry!
Ingredient Notes
- Pineapple Juice- I like to use 100% pineapple juice with no sugar added. Real fruit juice is the way to go for the best natural flavors in this drink.
- Vodka- use your favorite brand. Absolut vodka is a great choice.
- Freshly squeezed lime juice- bottled lime juice from concentrate is not recommended. It's too tart and acidic. Fresh lime juice is delicious and wonderfully fragrant.
- Ice- for chilling the co*cktail shaker.
- Fresh Pineapple and Maraschino Cherries- these garnishes will finish the co*cktail with colorful pizzazz! I like cutting pineapple wedges from a fresh whole pineapple for that resort style co*cktail feel.
How to Make a Pineapple Martini
- Fill a co*cktail shaker with ice cubes.
- Add Pineapple juice.
- Next pour in freshly squeezed lime juice.
- Finally add the Vodka.
- Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass, garnish with pineapple and a cherry, and enjoy!
