Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ oz vanilla vodka
- 1 oz pineapple juice
- 1 oz cream liqueur (such as Baileys)
- 1 oz heavy cream or half-and-half
- ½ oz simple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
- Ice cubes
- For the Rim & Garnish:
- Crushed graham crackers
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Fresh pineapple wedge
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your glass: moisten the rim with a little pineapple juice and dip it into crushed graham crackers to create a crust.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the vanilla vodka, pineapple juice, cream liqueur, heavy cream, and simple syrup (if using).
- Add a handful of ice cubes to the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.
- Strain the mixture into the prepared martini glass.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, and garnish with a fresh pineapple wedge.

- Store any leftover martini in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but it’s best enjoyed fresh.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk.
