Instructions
- Select a martini glass and prepare it by filling with ice water or chilling in the freezer for a crisp, frosty presentation.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with vodka, Chambord, and pineapple juice, ensuring the liquid ingredients are measured precisely for the perfect balance of flavors.
- Add a generous handful of ice cubes to the shaker, creating a proper chilling environment for the cocktail.
- Seal the shaker and execute a vigorous, rhythmic shaking motion for approximately 15-20 seconds, allowing the ingredients to blend thoroughly and develop a luxurious, frothy texture.

Notes
- Opt for high-quality vodka to elevate the cocktail’s smoothness and overall flavor profile.
- Use fresh pineapple juice instead of canned for a brighter, more vibrant taste that enhances the drink’s natural sweetness.
- Experiment with different raspberry liqueurs like crème de framboise as an alternative to Chambord for subtle flavor variations.
- Adjust the sweetness by slightly increasing or decreasing the Chambord ratio to suit personal preference without compromising the cocktail’s balance.
