Parisian elegance meets tropical charm in this French Martini, blending vodka, raspberry liqueur, and pineapple juice into a sophisticated sip. Smooth, luxurious, and effortlessly stylish, you’ll feel transported to a glamorous Parisian cocktail bar with each delightful taste.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Spirits:

  • 2 ounces (60 milliliters) vodka

Liqueurs:

  • 1/2 ounce (15 milliliters) Chambord

Juices and Garnish:

  • 1 ounce (30 milliliters) fresh pineapple juice
  • Ice
  • Fresh raspberry or lemon twist

Instructions

  1. Select a martini glass and prepare it by filling with ice water or chilling in the freezer for a crisp, frosty presentation.
  2. Fill a cocktail shaker with vodka, Chambord, and pineapple juice, ensuring the liquid ingredients are measured precisely for the perfect balance of flavors.
  3. Add a generous handful of ice cubes to the shaker, creating a proper chilling environment for the cocktail.
  4. 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.
  5. Empty the martini glass of ice water if pre-chilled, ensuring a clean serving surface.
  6. Position a cocktail strainer over the shaker and carefully pour the mixture into the prepared glass, maintaining a smooth, controlled flow.
  7. Complete the presentation by delicately placing a plump, fresh raspberry or an elegant lemon twist on the rim, transforming the drink into a visually stunning libation that tantalizes both the eyes and palate.

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.
