Aloha,
Today we are making a Pineapple Upside Down Cake Martini.  

A few weeks ago I was at a local bar where a friend of mine bar tends. The distributor gave him a bottle of cake flavored vodka. So we did some experimenting to see what we could come up with. We mixed the cake vodka with a variety of things but nothing was tasting quite right. Finally, we tried some pineapple juice. That is when we knew we were on to something. We added a little amaretto to the drink and it tasted just like a pineapple upside down cake.  

Later, at home, I added some dark rum and the recipe was even better. The first time I tried cake flavored vodka I was surprise at how good it was. It truly tastes just like cake. Mixed with the pineapple juice, rum, and amaretto the cocktail is truly amazing.  

To make a pineapple upside down cake martini put some ice in a cocktail shaker. Then add:

• 2 oz cake flavored vodka
• 2 oz pineapple juice
• 1/2 oz amaretto
• 1/2 oz dark rum

Shake it up real good and then pour the drink, strained, into a martini glass. Garnish the drink with a cherry, and enjoy!  

Let me know what you think about the martini by leaving a comment below. I would love to hear your thoughts on what might make it even better.

Mahalo,

Damon
