Upside Down Pineapple Martini

I just celebrated yet another birthday, woohoo, and what better way to celebrate my body dwindling away than with alcohol. In spirit of fancy spirits I would like to share my absolute favorite drink.

The Upside Down Pineapple Martini

 Things you'll need:
    • Pineapple juice
    • Grenadine
    • Vanilla Vodka
    • Cherry Vodka
    • Spoon
    • Martini shaker
    • Martini glass








First you take 1 part Grenadine and 1 part Cherry Vodka, mix, and pour at the bottom of the martini glass. You want to fill about 1/4 of the bottom of the glass, of course you could add extra to your liking.


Next mix 1 part Vanilla Vodka to 3 parts Pineapple juice, again amount of vodka can be adjusted to preference. Instead of a martini shaker I use my Blender Bottle. It has a whisker inside so it mixes everything thoroughly and gives it a nice fluffy texture. And it's one of my favorite things to have in the kitchen, very handy.


Nows the tricky part, hold the spoon upside down over the martini glass, as close to the cherry mixture as possible, and poor the pineapple mixture of the spoon slowly to create the separated look. Vuala!!!


If you have people over for drinks it's a lovely presentation drink , but when I'm by myself I just mix everything together. It still tastes delicious.

Salud!!
