Island Martini
Island Martini
Tropical, creamy and striking to look at, the Island Martini combines Draig Môn Vanilla Vodka with pineapple, coconut and fresh lime before being finished with a vivid blue layer. A playful tropical cocktail with a silky foamed finish.
Ingredients
- 45ml Draig Môn Vanilla Vodka
- 22.5ml pineapple juice
- 15ml coconut liqueur
- 7.5ml fresh lime juice
- 1 egg white or vegan alternative
- 5–10ml blue curaçao
- Plenty of ice, for shaking
How to Make an Island Martini
Add the Draig Môn Vanilla Vodka, pineapple juice, coconut liqueur, fresh lime juice and egg white or vegan alternative to a cocktail shaker.
Add plenty of ice and shake hard until thoroughly chilled. Keep the blue curaçao aside for now.
Strain the cocktail back into the empty shaker, discard the ice, then shake vigorously again without ice to build an extra smooth foam.
Fine-strain into a chilled Martini or coupe glass.
Carefully pour 5–10ml of blue curaçao through the centre of the foam. Allow it to sink gently through the cocktail to create the distinctive blue layer.
The Perfect Serve
Add the blue curaçao only after the cocktail has been strained into the glass. Pour it slowly through the centre rather than mixing it into the shaker. This gives the Island Martini its distinctive layered appearance.
Draig Môn Vanilla Vodka
Draig Môn Vanilla Vodka is our vanilla-flavoured Welsh vodka, produced here at Llanfairpwll Distillery on Ynys Môn.
Its soft vanilla character works particularly well with tropical flavours. Pineapple brings bright fruit, coconut adds richness and lime keeps the cocktail fresh and balanced.
The foamed finish gives the Island Martini a smooth texture, while the blue curaçao adds both citrus character and the striking colour that gives this cocktail its island-inspired look.
