Bikini Martini Drink Recipe

October 28, 2009 by Mindy 8 Comments

Hello…my name is Mindy…and I’m addicted to anything with a girly, cutesy name. I tend to seek out and gravitate toward things like Hello Kitty,Pink Passion fingernail polish, Bonnebelle and Lipsmackers…Bikini Martinis. Okay, I’ll admit, I do like to imbibe a teensy bit. Not enough to fall on the ground in a drunken stupor, drooling all over myself in shame and misery. Just shy of that.

A couple of years ago I was invited to join a book club. I didn’t really know any of the women involved but we all had kids and husbands,and therefore a common interest.We decided to meet monthly and each signed up to host drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts at our homes. Book club began as a forum in which to discuss our chosen novel but has quickly evolved to”drinking quite a bit while complaining about our husbands and kids”. All in good fun, of course. Our standing monthly date has actually become more a form of group therapy that happens to have a slight literary focus. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. And I’m pretty sure my compadres feel the same way.

Which leads me to this little piece of paradise. I discovered this martini while researching my menu last year. I’ve had my fair share of these little babies so I feel I can confidently say that you will love this drink if you’re into things with a tropical twist and an alcoholic vibe…which I am.

To get you in the mood…a beautiful beach picture taken during our family trip to Mexico in December, 2008.

Recipe - Bikini Martini 3

Bikini Martini Recipe
personalized to…Slightly More Modest Tankini Martini

  • 1 fluid ounce coconut rum
  • 3/4 fluid ounce vodka
  • 1 fluid ounce **pineapple juice
  • a dash of grenadine syrup

Combine rum, vodka and juice in a martini shaker and shake until well blended (I shake with ice for a really chilly drink). Pour into chilled martini glass and add a dash of grenadine syrup.

**also super delightful with an orange/pineapple blend.

Serves 1

Yummmm…I think I’ll go make one. Right now. Pray for me.

      Thank you! This group of ladies have become like sisters to me…I love then all. And rarely do we have an evening that 1) doesn’t involve a martini of some sort, and 2) isn’t fun. =)

    Sounds delicious and the “book club” is a perfect idea. Who cares if you dont get around the talking about books.

      Yeah, it’s usually about 1/2 hour before we get ready to go home that we realize we haven’t discussed the book yet. We’re working on our literary sides. =)

    I love me some vodka. This sounds delicious and I do like tropical drinks! Okay. I just like drinks. I’ve been promised a magarita the size of my friends head tonight. I’m pretty darned excited. Thanks for the recipe!

      See…I knew there was a reason I liked you. Vodka and rum have become my liquors of choice since Tequila and I exchanged some words a couple of years ago. Have fun tonight! =)
