All about the Pink Martini
The Pink Martini is a standout spin on the classic Martini, bringing elevated flavor and a touch of fun to a timeless drink. Built around Absolut Vodka, Dry Vermouth, Orange Bitters, and Grenadine, it’s finished in a chilled Cocktail Glass and served with style. It’s an accessible but spirited choice for home bartenders-no need for a secret handshake. Whether you’re celebrating or just exploring new flavors, this pink martini drink always makes a statement.
The Pink Martini balances bright citrus and subtle floral notes, weaving in delicate sweetness with a crisp, spirit-forward finish. Each sip feels silky with a lingering, zesty pop that lights up the palate.
- The Ice Game (This Changes Everything)
Use large, quality Ice Cubes. They melt slower and keep your Pink Martini crisp and balanced. - Pre-chill Everything
Put your Cocktail Glass in the freezer several minutes before serving. Cold tools make a difference. - Balance the Botanicals
Use quality Dry Vermouth. It brings extra layers of elegance that marry well with Absolut Vodka. - The Citrus Edge
Add a splash of Fresh Lemon Juice to brighten the whole drink. Trust us-it zings. - Shaking Technique
Shake hard and fast with your Boston Shaker until the outside frosts. This brings everything together.
- Classic Lemon Twist Garnish
Express a Lemon Twist over the top of your Pink Martini for a pop of aroma and color that highlights the citrus notes. - Edible Flower Finish
Drop an Edible Flower in the Cocktail Glass to mirror the cocktail’s floral side and create a conversation starter. - Luxardo Cherry Upgrade
Place a Maraschino Cherry at the bottom of the glass for a bit of extra depth and a nod to classic Martini garnishes.
