Ingredients

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 oz vodka 60mL
  • 1 oz Chambord liqueur 30mL
  • 1 oz pineapple juice 30mL

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put some ice into the cocktail shaker.
  2. Pour the vodka, Chambord, and pineapple juice into the shaker.
  3. Close and shake vigorously. Pour into martini glass.

Notes

  • Add citrus peel or juice to the shaker. For a hint of lemon or lime flavor, add a piece of peel or a squeeze of juice into the shaker with the other ingredients to change up the original recipe with a bright pop of flavor.
  • Chill your glasses. To keep this cocktail chilly, put your martini glass or coupe glass in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes beforehand. They will have a frosty appearance and keep this drink cool, especially when sipping on a hot day.
  • Use ice cubes instead of crushed ice. Shaken cocktails are best when made with ice cubes. Crushed ice begins melting quickly and will water down your drink.
  • Scale the recipe. To make a larger quantity of this recipe, combine the ingredients in a larger mason jar or jar with a tight-fitting lid and chill until ready to use. I recommend shaking up individual cocktails when you're ready to serve. Measure out 4 ounces of the mixture into a cocktail shaker, add ice, and shake.
  • French martini garnish ideas. Add a fresh raspberry or a cocktail pick with several berries to the top of the glass as a nod to Chambord raspberry liqueur. You can also give this drink a simple classic finish by topping it with a lemon twist or orange peel.
  • Use the Chambord within 6 months of opening it. Due to the fruit content in the liqueur, it can go bad, unlike most other alcohol. Store the bottle in a cool, dry, place and discard after 6 months or if you notice the formation of sugar crystals in the bottom.
