Pineapple Upside Down Cake Martini
Description
This cocktail blends equal parts whipped and vanilla vodkas with pineapple juice, shaken with ice until chilled. The mixture is strained into martini glasses containing a maraschino cherry at the bottom. A slow pour of grenadine down the side creates a layered effect resembling caramelized pineapple from the traditional upside-down cake.
Garnishing with additional cherries and pineapple chunks enhances the tropical aesthetic and adds texture. The drink is sweet and smooth, highlighting the vanilla and pineapple flavors, with grenadine adding a touch of color and flavor reflecting the cake's syrup.
This recipe yields either three 5-ounce or two 8-ounce martinis, depending on glass size, making it suitable for sharing at parties or dessert-themed cocktails. Using flavored vodkas deepens the richness but can be substituted with preferred brands.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces vodka whipped
- 4 ounces vodka vanilla flavored
- 8 ounces pineapple juice
- 3 teaspoons grenadine
- 6 maraschino cherries for garnish
- 3 pineapple chunks for garnish
- ice crushed
Instructions
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in the vodkas and pineapple juice.
- Cover and shake for about 30 seconds or until the shaker feels cold.
- Put a maraschino cherry in the bottom of each martini glass. Strain the vodka/pineapple mixture into the martini glasses.
- Slowly pour a little grenadine down the side of the martini glass so it settles on the bottom of the glass. Garnish with another cherry and pineapple chunks.
Notes
- This recipe makes three 5-ounce martinis or two 8-ounce martinis depending on your glass size.
