French Martini

A sweet and fruity tropical built around vodka, with the classic proportions and service that make the French Martini endure.

“The French Martini arrives composed, luminous, and fully aware it has everyone's attention.”

WHY THIS DRINK WORKS

The French Martini works because vodka, pineapple juice, Chambord or raspberry liqueur meet in deliberate proportion. Keep the method shaken, use fresh ice, and give the final garnish enough attention to finish the aroma without distracting from the drink.
