Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Sure, we can make that work! Add all of the ingredients to a martini shaker filled with ice. Shake it HARD until the outside of the shaker is frosted. Strain the cocktail into your favorite glass.
Dust the rosemary spring with powdered sugar - wouldn't that be pretty? You could also use a candy cane. That would be fun too!
Deb's tips for the perfect cocktail
Take this to the next level by freezing the pineapple juice into ice cubes. It will keep the cocktail extra cold and not dilute the drink.
- Use good vodka, don't cheap out!
- Place your glasses in the freezer. They will get super cold and frosty!
