The French Martini is a bright cocktail in both color and flavor. Made with raspberry liqueur, vodka, and pineapple juice, this delightful cocktail is the perfect refreshing slow sipper. Unlike the dry Dirty Martini, this sophisticated cocktail is sweet, fruity, and balanced.
A classy cocktail with a frothy head, this French Martini will be a recipe you will continue to come back to. Perfect for an at-home happy hour or book club with friends, it requires only three ingredients and is easy to make.
What is in a French Martini
A French Martini contains only three ingredients.
- Vodka. You’ll want to use a good-quality vodka for this recipe. See below for our recommendations at all price points.
- Raspberry Liqueur. We recommend using Chambord Raspberry Liqueur. We definitely think the pretty bottle and fruity flavor are worth the investment! You can also enjoy it with soda water.
- Pineapple Juice. Freshly squeezed or store-bought. Freshly squeezed fruit juice is always best, but if that isn’t available or you’re looking for convenience, store-bought will work for this recipe.
What kind of vodka is best?
No matter what your budget is, you can use a good tasting vodka in this recipe. Our favorite top shelf vodka is Belvedere, mid-level is Grey Goose, and low level we recommend Titos.
