From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

French Martini is a cocktail made with vodka, pineapple juice, and Chambord. Despite its name, it is not a true martini, but is one of many drinks that incorporate the term into their names.

History[edit | edit source]

The French Martini was invented in the 1980s at one of Keith McNally's New York City bars. It was part of an effort to market Chambord to customers. The French Martini is now popular in bars throughout the world.

Preparation[edit | edit source]

The French Martini is made with 1.5 oz of vodka, 1 oz of pineapple juice, and 0.5 oz of Chambord. These ingredients are mixed in a shaker with ice and then strained into a chilled martini glass. The drink is typically garnished with a lemon twist or fresh raspberries.

Variations[edit | edit source]

There are several variations of the French Martini. The Flaming French Martini includes a splash of champagne. The French Martini Popsicle is a frozen version of the drink. The French Martini with a Twist includes a splash of lime juice.
