Try this if you like soft fruit-forward cocktails
Choose the French Martini when you want vodka with pineapple and berry-style sweetness. It is smoother and fruitier than a dry Martini despite the name.
Variations
Easy ways to adjust French Martini
For a fresher version, make the citrus brighter before adding more sweetener. For a richer version, use a deeper rum style or add a small bitter or spice accent.
Skip if
Skip French Martini if...
Skip French Martini if you do not want fruit, sweetness or a warmer-weather feel. Tropical cocktails need enough acidity to stay balanced, so avoid them when you want a dry profile.
