How to Serve French Martini
Serve the French Martini in a chilled martini glass to highlight its stunning color. You can pair this drink with light appetizers, seafood, or a simple cheese platter. It’s also great on its own as a refreshing drink during a warm evening.
How to Store French Martini
It’s best to make French Martinis fresh, as they taste best when served immediately. If you have leftover ingredients, you can store the vodka, raspberry liqueur, and pineapple juice separately in your refrigerator or bar cabinet. However, do not store the mixed drink because it loses its frothy texture and vibrant flavor.
Tips to Make French Martini
- Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
- Chill your martini glass beforehand for an extra refreshing experience.
- If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of raspberry liqueur or pineapple juice to your taste.
- Always shake the cocktail well to get the perfect frothy texture.
Variation
You can create a variation of the French Martini by adding a splash of cranberry juice for added tartness. This will give your cocktail a deeper color and a slightly different flavor profile.
