A flirtini is the drink for anyone that loves to giggle and have a great time! It’s filled with pineapple goodness, vodka, and a splash of champagne darling…This martini is absolutely perfect for Valentine’s Day, or any other holiday. As well as summer parties…so grab those pineapples and let’s get started!
Flirtini Ingredients
So what does it take to make this delicious cocktail? Well….I am glad you asked let’s take a look at the ingredients needed first.
- Vodka
- Fresh Pineapple juice
- Grand Marnier or Pineapple Liqueur
- Prosecco or Cava or Champagne
- Fresh Pineapples
- Grenadine syrup
Now we are going to breakdown the needs for these ingredients. The first ingredient listed is vodka, since we are making a vodka martini it only feels right to use vodka. But, if you’re not a huge vodka fan the classic gin option is another great alternative. The fresh pineapple juice is used to add a hint of something sweet/citrus-like. Fresh produce will always elevate a cocktail or dish…please keep that in mind. Any who….A cool trick to use when preparing this cocktail is to soak the pineapples in the vodka before using. This makes a killer drink and definitely puts it over the top.
So, the last two ingredients are optional. Grand Marnier or pineapple liqueur add a little more texture to the drink. It’s not quite an essential ingredient, but does change the taste of this martini. But, if we are going to make a flirtini some bubbles are necessary. What kind of bubbles are needed? Any you can find available will work from Cava to champagne. Whatever floats your boat….
Making the Cocktail
Alright, let’s make this flirtini! In a cocktail shaker add the least expesnive ingredient first, pineapple juice. Followed by vodka, Grand Marnier, and finally add the ice. Shake well or until the shaker becomes ice cold. Next, strain the drink into a clean martini glass. Top it off with bubbly prosecco or Cava or champagne. Garnish with chunky fresh pineapples and a splash of grenadine for a pop of color. Enjoy!
