Equipment

  • Jigger
  • Chilled martini glass
  • Fine-mesh strainer
  • Bar spoon
  • Citrus peeler

Ingredients

  • 2 oz vodka plain or flavored
  • 0.5 oz Chambord or other raspberry liqueur
  • 1.5 oz pineapple juice
  • ice cubes for shaking
  • lemon twist for garnish
  • fresh raspberries optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Add vodka, Chambord, and pineapple juice.
  • Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until very cold and lightly frothy.
  • Fine‑strain into a chilled martini glass.

Notes

Fresh pineapple juice gives brighter flavor and better foam. Adjust sweetness by adding a touch more Chambord. Chill the glass first for the crispest sip.
