Substitute
Sometimes you might not have all the ingredients for a Pineapple Martini. Don’t worry; I’ve got you covered! 🍍🍸
Pineapple Juice
- No Pineapple Juice? Try orange juice or mango juice for a similar tropical taste. Both add a delicious twist.
Vodka
- Out of Vodka? Use white rum or tequila. They change the flavor but keep the cocktail strong and tasty!
Simple Syrup
- No Simple Syrup? Substitute with a bit of honey or agave syrup. These add sweetness without altering the overall taste too much.
Lime Juice
- No Lime Juice? Use lemon juice instead. It’s equally zesty and works perfectly in the drink.
Triple Sec
- No Triple Sec? Replace with a dash of orange juice or even orange liqueur. This keeps the citrusy note.
