This delicious French Martini is just such a cocktail. It is made with just three ingredients, all of which are easy to keep on hand. Whip one up for your bestie this weekend!
Vodka: Most martinis are quite vodka-forward, so it is important to use a vodka that you enjoy the taste of. The better the vodka, the better the martini will be. See more on my vodka recommendations below. Raspberry liqueur: A pretty bottle of Chambord is perfect. Its fruity flavor and pink hue are also delicious with just soda water. Pineapple juice: While I almost always recommend juice squeezed fresh from the fruit, pineapple juice is one I buy and have good results with.
Combine all ingredients. Add the vodka, raspberry liqueur, and pineapple juice to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Give it a good shake. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds, or until the outside of the shaker is nice and frosty. Pour and enjoy! Strain the mixture into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge.
If you need a more budget-friendly option, Titos is great and one I use often. Another great budget-friendly vodka is Kirkland Vodka which you can find at Costco. People often can’t taste the difference between Kirkland and Grey Goose in blind taste tests. When you are ready to pour your cocktail, dump the water and ice and wipe out the glass. Strain your cocktail into the chilled glass and enjoy!
