The Bikini Martini is the perfect fusion of vibrant, tropical flavors with the classic sophistication of a martini.

Bikini Martini Recipe

Ingredients:

• 45ml vodka (or Vermouth)

• 30ml pineapple juice

• 10ml grenadine

• Ice cubes

• Pineapple slice or cherry for garnish

Preparation:

1. In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, pineapple juice.

2. Add ice cubes and shake well for about 45 seconds to 1min.

3. Strain into a chilled martini glass and leave to settle for 30sec.

4. Carefully add the grenadine.

5. Garnish with a slice of pineapple or a cherry.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Bikini Martini:

1. Quality Ingredients Matter: To truly elevate your Bikini Martini, always use freshly squeezed juice (particularly the pineapple and lime). The flavor difference is substantial!

2. Chill Your Glass: Give your martini glass a quick chill by filling it with ice water before pouring in your cocktail. This keeps the drink cold for longer and enhances the drinking experience.

3. Use a Good Vodka: Since vodka is the base spirit, make sure you’re using a high-quality brand that complements the other flavors without overpowering them.

4. Balance is Key: Adjust the pineapple juice and lime juice ratios to your taste. If you like it sweeter, increase the pineapple juice; if you prefer more tang, add extra lime.

Occasion Suggestions:

• Romantic Dinner:  The addition of grenadine brings a touch of colour which blends well with dinner settings.
