Pineapple Martini

If you like pineapple as much as I do, mixing it into a cocktail is an easy win (and easy to make). Fresh and juicy, this pineapple martini is the perfect spring or summer cocktail, but really I like it all year. The pineapple offers natural sweetness while fresh lime offers a bit of pucker. Tastes like a vacation in a martini glass. Let me know if you make this. I would love to see your version! Cheers!

Ingredients for Pineapple Martini

• Pineapple Juice (homemade or store-bought)
• Vodka
• Lime
• Sugar and pineapple for garnish (optional)

Variations

• Gin – Feel free to use gin if it’s what you prefer or if it’s just what you have on hand!
• Pineapple juice – use fresh homemade pineapple just to take your recipe up a notch (recipe below) or store bought for a short cut that still tastes great.

Homemade Pineapple Juice? Yes!

If you have a blender, you can make homemade pineapple juice. I like some pulp in my pineapple juice, so I don’t bother straining mine, but you can if you want. For this cocktail recipe, the cocktail shaker will strain out any larger pulp bits, so I find it unnecessary.

The pink pineapple garnish is from Tropical Fruit Box. Of course, you can use regular pineapple to garnish, but making it pink adds a fun unexpected twist for a party or gathering! They are also a great source for passion fruit, longan, dragon fruit, and other tropical fruits.
