Can you use vodka instead of rum for Piña Colada?

The Pina Colada Martini is a fun, fruity cocktail featuring the sweet island flavors of pineapple & coconut. No blender needed.

One of the reasons this martini is so delish, is vanilla vodka & pineapple juice aerate really well together to create a velvety smooth textured cocktail.

Shaking pineapple juice vigorously always produces a delicious thick lasting tasty foam. Yummy! Enjoy the tropical vibes in a martini glass! Cheers!

Bar Tool Tip: OXO Steel Double Jigger is one of my favorite bar tools! A stainless steel dual sided jigger etched with six different measurements. Makes getting the perfect pour in your cocktail super easy every time!

1. Combine all ingredients into a cocktail shaker.

5. Garnish the outside of the martini glass with a fresh pineapple wedge, to give the drink that island feel!
6. I like to float a few pineapple pieces or a cherry in the actual martini. I love fresh fruit soaked in alcohol. One of the finer things in life! You can also use canned pineapple as a time saver, or if fresh isn’t available. Cheers!

Notes

• If you are going to garnish this martini with a cherry, please don’t use those bright red maraschino cherries. Cocktails deserve better cherries. Italian cherries are truly a delicacy not to be missed. Opt for upgraded gourmet Luxardo Maraschino Cherries or Toschi Amarena Cherries. You can buy an Italian Cherry Combo Pack from Amazon here.  Also perfect for other cocktails like Manhattans, ice cream & dessert!

• I like the single serving size cans of pineapple juice. They make drink mixing easy. The juice stays fresh in the little cans, as opposed to opening a gigantic bottle. They are shelf stable, plus I don’t waste juice. You can buy them from Amazon here. 

Please enjoy this martini responsibly. Please only forward this recipe on to people who are 21 and older.
