Equipment Needed

To make this tropical martini, you’ll need a few basic bar tools:

• Jigger or measuring cup

• Strainer (built-in or fine mesh)

• Martini or coupe glasses

• Small plate (for rimming the glass with coconut)

• Knife and cutting board (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

1. Start by preparing your martini glasses for serving.

2. On a small plate, pour a little pineapple juice or simple syrup.

3. On another plate, spread shredded coconut.

4. Dip the rim of each glass into the juice, then into the coconut to coat.

5. Set the glasses aside in the freezer or fridge for a few minutes while you make the cocktail — this helps keep the drink extra cold and crisp.

Step 2: Mix the Martini

1. In a cocktail shaker, add vodka, coconut cream, pineapple juice, and triple sec.

2. If you prefer a sweeter martini, add the simple syrup or honey.

3. Fill the shaker halfway with ice.

4. Shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and frothy.

5. Taste and adjust the sweetness if needed before straining.

Step 3: Strain and Serve

1. Take the prepared glasses from the freezer.

2. Using a cocktail strainer, pour the martini mixture evenly into each glass.

3. You’ll notice a beautiful creamy texture with a light foam on top — a hallmark of a well-shaken martini.

4. Garnish each drink with a pineapple wedge or a cherry for color and tropical flair.

Step 4: Optional Variations

• For a lighter version: Use coconut water instead of coconut cream for fewer calories and a fresher finish.

• For extra indulgence: Add a splash of coconut milk or even a drizzle of coconut rum for a richer, dessert-like drink.

• Frozen version: Blend all ingredients with ice for a slushy tropical cocktail that’s perfect for summer days.

5. Serve immediately: Like most shaken cocktails, this martini is best enjoyed fresh and cold
