Pineapple Martini, is a pretty straight forward cocktail in a long line of tinis, that ruled the cocktail world in the 80s and 90s. It is rather surprising that a combination of vodka, pineapple juice, lime juice and rich syrup did not come about before 1997.

Cocktail build is simple, so quality of ingredients is crucial, since there is nothing to hide behind. Base spirit should be a crisp and clear vodka. Pair that with fresh pineapple and lime juices, bringing a lot of fruitiness without overcomplicating the matter. Lime juice is essential, it helps to bolster the acidity of pineapple and elevates taste profile of the cocktail. Small addition of rich simple syrup balances the drink, and lets the fruity notes pop just a little bit more.

Pineapple Martini is a refreshing fruity fix, because somedays, that is exactly what you want and need. Simple to make, yet delicious to the very last drop.
