What is the bartender tip for a French Martini?
The Grey Goose video goes 45 ml vodka, 60 ml fresh pineapple, and 15 ml raspberry liqueur — 100% pineapple juice is what makes the foam without egg white. Chambord is the classic; another raspberry liqueur from the shop covers it. Boxed juice foams less and sweetens more: if you use it, drop the liqueur a little. The IBA tightens to 45/15/15; Steve the Bartender flips it (30/30/60). This recipe follows the video. The catalog's Vodka Martini is still the stirred one with vermouth; the Porn Star Martini gets passion fruit and sparkling wine on the side.
