Layered Drinks:
Layered cocktails are one of the best party cocktails. They are always a conversation starter and so stunning to look at. Although the color effect will make you look like an expert mixologist, the truth is, layering this mixed drink is super easy and requires zero skills!
To layer this mixed drink, simply pour in the ingredients in order of viscosity, from the heaviest to the lightest. Pour slowly not to create too many “waves” and that is it! You will end up with the perfect martini every time!
Layered Drinks
A layered cocktail is also called a “stacked drink” or a “pouse-cafe”. These beverages are all about gravity! Heavy liquids sink while lighter liquids float! It’s like a child’s science experiment – but for adults!
Cocktail Ingredients
- Coconut Rum: I use Malibu Rum
- Vodka: Use your favorite brand. I always keep my vodka in the freezer. A chilled cocktail is always best.
- Pineapple Juice: Not juice cocktail. Chilled.
- Grenadine: I use a couple of dashes only so the drink is not overly sweet.
Bikini Martini Mocktail
Now that we have established clearly how incredibly easy it’s to make this fun sweet martini, let’s talk about what to serve to guests that don’t drink any alcohol. Since you already have the pineapple juice and the grenadine handy, all you need is some coconut water to make the most perfect and refreshing summer mocktail!
To make the virgin version of this Bikini Martini you will need:
5 oz pineapple juice + 3 oz coconut water + a healthy dash of grenadine + ice
In a tall glass, put some iced (crushed ice is great too).Pour the granadine, the pineapple juice and the coconut water. Garnish with a chunk of pineapple and a maraschino cherry. Serve with a straw.
