Notes
- Lisa’s Tips: Use your favorite martini glasses and cocktail picks to enhance presentation.
- Make it less sweet by reducing Chambord to ½ ounce and increasing pineapple juice to 1½ ounces. Optionally, add ½ ounce fresh lemon juice for brightness.
- Mocktail version: Mix 2 ounces pineapple juice, 1 ounce raspberry syrup, ½ ounce lemon juice, and 2 ounces sparkling water for a refreshing alcohol-free alternative.
