There’s a trendy new cocktail on the rise: the Coconut Pineapple Martini. There are a number of different recipes out there, and they’re all delicious, so we’ve created two of our own. You should also feel free to make up your own versions. This is a hard drink to get wrong! Needs pineapple and coconut flavors – beyond that, whatever!
And, like so many modern “martinis”, it’s never even heard of gin, vodka or vermouth. But it’s served in a martini glass. Whatever!
Now, the preparation is the same with all of these: shake everything together nicely in a shaker with ice, and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a wedge of pineapple soaked in rum.
Recipe #1
- 1 1/2 ounces coconut rum
- 1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice
- Splash of amaretto
Recipe #2
- 1 ounce coconut rum
- 1 ounce pineapple vodka or pineapple schnapps
- 1 ounce pineapple juice
- splash of grenadine
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
You really can’t screw up this recipe. Just pick stuff that’s coconut and pineapple flavored and add to it stuff that goes well with those flavors.
