Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Cocktail shaker, strainer, measuring jigger, martini glass

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients:
  • 2 oz coconut rum
  • 1 oz pineapple juice preferably fresh, but canned works too
  • 1 oz coconut cream
  • ½ oz fresh lime juice
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Garnish: Pineapple slice toasted coconut, or a maraschino cherry

Instructions
 

  • Method:
  • Prepare the Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Pour the coconut rum, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and lime juice into your cocktail shaker.
  • Add Ice: Fill the shaker halfway with ice cubes. This helps chill the drink quickly and adds a nice froth to the mixture when shaken.
  • Shake It Up: Close the shaker and shake vigorously for about 30 seconds. You want the ingredients to be well combined and icy cold.
  • Strain: Once everything is properly mixed, strain the cocktail into a chilled martini glass. If you don’t have a martini glass, any other fancy glass will work, but chilling it first is key to keeping your drink cool.
  • Garnish & Serve: Garnish your Coconut Pineapple Martini with a pineapple slice on the rim, sprinkle some toasted coconut on top for an extra tropical flair, or add a maraschino cherry for a sweet touch.
  • Variations:
  • Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the coconut rum with coconut-flavored sparkling water or coconut juice for a delightful virgin version.
  • Vegan Option: Some coconut creams contain dairy, so make sure to choose a vegan coconut cream for a plant-based alternative.
  • Lower-Calorie Version: Swap out the coconut cream for light coconut milk to cut down on calories without sacrificing the tropical vibe.
  • Sweeter Twist: If you like your cocktails a bit sweeter, add a splash of simple syrup or a teaspoon of agave syrup.
