A French Martini is a cocktail made with vodka, raspberry liqueur (such as Chambord), and pineapple juice. It is typically served in a martini glass and garnished with a raspberry or a twist of lemon.
The drink was created in the 1980s by a bartender named Keith McNally, who was working at a bar in New York City. Despite its name, the French Martini is not actually a classic martini, which typically contains gin and vermouth.
