French Martini Cocktail
The French martini cocktail is a fruit-driven alco-beverage that belongs to a broader category of martini cocktail variations. While it does not follow the dry or botanical style of a classic martini cocktail, it maintains the traditional structure of being served in a glass with clean, minimal garnish. The fruit juice creates a subtle foam when shaken, adding aesthetic and textural distinction. Within the umbrella of variations, the French martini cocktail represents a shift toward modern, accessible flavours, offering a lighter option for those who prefer a combination of fruity complexity.
