Celebrity's French Martini

[dmk]

This is my favorite martini.:D I would love to make it for a friend. Does anyone have the recipe?

[caribbean dreams]

I don't know how Celebrity makes it, but this is how i make it...

1 1/2 oz vodka

1/4 oz raspberry liqueur

1/4 oz fresh pineapple juice

1 twist lemon peel

Yummy!!

I'm looking at the menu, and it says

 

Grey Goose Vodka

Chambord

Pineapple Juice

orange twist garnish

 

I usually make it with a jigger of vodka, a half jigger of Chambord, and a jigger of pineapple juice. Experimenting with the proportions to find the ultimate combination sounds like a nice fun evening! :)

Leela, I will take one if you are making them:D

[GramaFran]

My DH makes them the same **

2 jiggers of Vodka (any brand) 1 jigger of Chambord 1 jigger of pineapple juice - shake with ice and pour in martini glass with a twist of orange peel.

 

This make 2 nice sized drinks - and they go down so smoothly.

 

Lois R - come over anytime and the Martini is on us.

I know a "jigger" is 45ml (1 1/2 fl oz), but all of a sudden the thought of drinking something with "jiggers" in it struck me as funny. You know, in that "I've heard that word a thousand times and all of a sudden it sounds weird to me" kind of way. :rolleyes:

Tom:

How about "shotglass" instead of jigger. I bet most young people would not even know the word jigger, but everyone knows about shot glass.

Shooters are just a shot glass.

Thanks for the recipes. I have made it once before and couldn't quite get the balance right. So I'll try some of these:D

don't mean to intrude on your thread... I'm a bartender, so I thougt I'd give my suggestions too!! :)

first, there are several different sized jiggers... from 3/4 oz on up (at my bar ours is 1 3/4 oz)

ALWAYS use a premium vodka, especially when making martini's of any sort. Cheap vodka will not only change the taste, but will give you a terrible hangover!! lol!!!

My reciepe is as follows... the size of your martini glass needs to be taken into account also...

 

approx. 3 oz. Belvedere

.5 - .75 oz chamboard

splash of pineapple juice (we use Dole)

I garnish with a lemon twist

 

You just have to play around with it

happy mixing!!!

 

If you like rum, I have a great recipe for a martini with Bacardi limon!!!

[poetic license]

You've all got me wishing for a French Martini! Now I know who to blame when nothing gets done tonight.:D:p:D

 

Cheers~

Pink Limon

 

approx. 3 oz bacardi limon

1-1.5 oz sweet and sour mix (like you would use in a marg. or madori sour)

Folks, there is but one martini, it's made with English gin and Italian dry vermouth, at the ratio of about 3-6 to 1. It is shaken, not stirred and NEVER has any fruity or sweety stuff in it!!!:eek:

 

Okay, I'll calm down now............ It's morning and a long time until martini time.........:cool:
