The Drinking Guide
French Martini Rendezvous
South Pacific with pineapple and raspberry, shaken for a light fruit foam and finished with a fresh raspberry.
Ingredients
60 ml Sammy South Pacific
30 ml pineapple juice
15 ml strained unsweetened raspberry puree
10 ml agave working mix (equal parts; see prep)
Glassware: Tulip shaped stemmed cocktail glass
Ice: Cubed ice for shaking; no serving ice
Garnish: One fresh raspberry
Method
Preparation
Blend fresh or thawed raspberries without sugar, press through a fine sieve and measure the puree. Agave working mix (equal parts): stir 30 ml Sammy agave with 30 ml water until uniform. Use the measured working mix listed for this drink, not the same measure of neat agave. Use fresh preparation and keep chilled until mixing. Make fresh for the session, refrigerate promptly and keep chilled until use.
Make the cocktail
1. Chill a tulip-shaped cocktail glass.
2. Shake all ingredients firmly with ice for 12 seconds to aerate the pineapple.
3. Fine-strain and float a single raspberry on the foam.
