FAQ
Pineapple Martini Cocktail Recipe Substitutions and Variations
- 2 oz vodka – You can swap it with gin or light rum if you wanna try a slightly different twist
- 2 oz pineapple juice – If you dont have pineapple juice, mango or passion fruit juice works fine
- 1 oz orange liqueur – If triple sec or Cointreau is missing, try using curacao as a substitute
- 1/2 oz fresh lime juice – Lemon juice is a great alternative for that tangy kick
Pro Tips
1. Chill your cocktail glass beforehand so your drink stays extra cool for longer – it really makes a difference.
2. Always use fresh squeezed lime juice instead of bottled ones, cuz the tang is way better and gives the martini more punch.
3. Give it a good hard shake but don’t overdo it, or the ice might dilute all the flavors too much.
4. Try playing around with the garnish sometimes; a little twist of citrus peel or an extra pineapple chunk can add an unexpected kick.
