  4. Rum Runner cocktail: Like many classic cocktails before it, the Rum Runner is said to have been invented by a bartender simply looking to use up extra ingredients. It’s been claimed to have originated in the early 1970s at the Holiday Isle Tiki Bar (now the Tiki Bar at Postcard Inn), located on Islamorada in the Florida Keys. Bar manager John Elber was allegedly clearing out dead stock to make room for fresh inventory when he improvised the drink by throwing the contents of old liquor bottles into a blender. Elber named the result—a combination of rum, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, grenadine, and tropical fruit juices—the Rum Runner, as a nod to the Florida Keys place in history as an important location in the illegal Prohibition-era alcohol-smuggling trade. Ingredients 1 1/2 parts Cruzan® Coconut Rum 1 part DeKuyper® Blackberry Brandy 1 part Pineapple Juice 1 part Orange Juice Splash Grenadine Pineapple Wedge Instructions Serve over ice in a hurricane glass.

  12. The French Martini helped to kick off the flavored Martini craze of the 1990s. Featuring vodka, pineapple juice and Chambord, the cocktail was first brought to prominence in the late-1980s when it debuted at the famous New York City restaurant Balthazar. The cocktail is emblematic of the era’s preference for fruity and sweet drinks, especially those with Martini in the name or anything appended with a ’Tini suffix (looking at you, Appletini). The reason why this Martini is called a “French” Martini is the inclusion of Chambord black raspberry liqueur, which has been produced in France since the 17th century. The Chambord, along with the pineapple juice, adds rich fruit flavor to the drink. When shaken hard with plenty of ice, the pineapple juice—use the freshest you can find—creates a pleasantly creamy mouthfeel and a frothy head. Ingrediens: 2 oz. vodka 1/4 oz. Chambord black raspberry liqueur 1 3/4 oz. pineapple juice Directions: Add the vodka, Chambord and pineapple juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Fine-strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
