French Martini Cocktail
The French martini cocktail is a modern classic drink known for its exquisite simplicity and prominent fruit flavour. Unlike a regular martini cocktail, it omits vermouth and gin in favour of a vibrant profile, showcasing how simple combinations produce elegant outcomes. The raspberry liqueur’s gorgeous pinkish-red hue, as well as the natural froth from the pineapple juice, add to its wonderful presentation.

Tips & Suggestions
Preparation Tip 1
For the finest juice, choose a pineapple that is mostly golden-yellow on the outside and has a fragrant, sweet aroma; avoid green patches for optimal sweetness and soft spots for maximum freshness.
Serving Tip 1
After straining, add an elegant detail by floating a single, fresh raspberry on the foam’s surface as its colour creates a stunning contrast and emphasises the drink’s main flavour.
