Are there variations on this martini?

Yes, there are several ways to change up this pineapple martini recipe. Use white, dark rum, or pineapple rum in place of coconut rum.

Try swapping vodka for gin or adding a spritz of lemon or lime juice for tartness. For added sweetness, pour in a bit of simple syrup or grenadine.

Is it possible to make an alcohol-free martini?

Yes, absolutely! Simply omit the rum and vodka and use a mix of pineapple juice, coconut water, club soda, or simple syrup for sweetness. Add any other flavorings you like.

Ginger ale or lemon-lime soda are great additions for a fizzy twist. If desired, add a splash of grenadine for color.

Can you double this recipe?

Yes, this recipe can easily be doubled. Simply double all of the ingredients and use a larger co*cktail shaker or jar to mix them together. Make sure the glass you serve it in is large enough as well!

Can you prepare these co*cktails ahead of time?

To make co*cktails for a crowd, scale up the recipe to accommodate the amount you’ll need and mix the ingredients in a large pitcher. Chill in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours. Make sure to remove the ice so it won’t water down the co*cktails.
