Piña Colada Martini

This spirit-forward drink has all the flavor of a classic rum-based Piña Colada, but it is lighter due to the substitution of coconut rum for the heavy, sweet coconut cream. If you like the flavor combination of coconut, pineapple, and citrus, this might become your go-to piña-colada drink. It’s perfect for watching a summer sunset even if you’re not at the beach.

Yield: 2 Coupe glasses

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces Vodka

  • 1 ounce Coconut Rum

  • 1 ½ ounces pineapple juice

Combine the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ½ cup of ice and shake until the shaker is well frosted, about 20-30 seconds.
