These Martinis quickly turned from Vodka and OJ into something much more exotic.

Ingredients
Tropicana Strawberry, Banana, Orange Juice
Vodka
Grenadine
Garnish: Maraschino Cherry & Fresh Pineapple

Mixing Directions
Equal Parts Juice & Vodka
Gently stirred over ice in shaker
Poured into glasses
A drop of Grenadine in each glass
Maraschino Cherry dropped in each glass Fresh Pineapple garnished on glass

The initial colour of these tropical treats was a yellow colour but once we mixed the sunken Grenadine syrup in it quickly turned to a rich tropical orange colour.  The cherry and fresh pineapple really added a lot to these as well.

He Says: “You can’t go wrong with Fruit Juice & Vodka – add fresh fruit and you’re good to go!”

She Says: “Wow, these Martinis were just fantastic!  These will be on the menu again, guaranteed!”
