Hawaiian Martini

"Roy Yamaguchi's national chain of Hawaiian fusion restaurants serves a martini that will have you singing "Tiny Bubbles" with your imaginary monkey friend Cecil. Whole bottles of Skyy vodka, Stoli Vanil, and Malibu rum are dumped into a giant decanter along with some sugar and pineapple chunks. After three days, when all the hunks of pineapple are floating, the cocktail's ready to be served -- shaken, not stirred -- in a chilled martini glass. Prepare in advance of your next swinging cocktail party since the recipe makes around 36 drinks."

  • Combine vodkas, Malibu rum, and pineapple juice in a large nozzled decanter or 5 quart jug.
  • Add sugar and stir until dissolved.
  • Slice the top and bottom off of a fresh pineapple.
  • Slice the pineapple in half then slice the halves in half to make quarters.
  • Cut the rind from each of the quarters, then slice the quarters into 1/2-inch thick slices.
  • This will make several bite-size wedges.

  1. Very excellent. It really doesn't need to set for 3 days. It is fantastic after 10 minutes! We couldn't wait! The key is to shake it with ice in a cocktail shaker until it's icy cold, then strain into a cold martini glass. So cool served in pretty martini glass with a skewer of the fresh pineapple slice! Fun served with Hawaiian-type appetizers.
     
  2. Aloooohaaaa! This made a huge amount! I didn't have a pitcher big enough, so made it in smaller batches. We loved it.
     
  3. This yummy martini will have you doing the Hula (and it did). We omitted the pineapple and the 3-day wait and it was still awesome. We garnished it with a cherry which made a very pretty drink. Ahhh, life is good . . . Thanks for sharing, recipezaar.
     
  4. For us unexperienced martini drinkers, this was quite strong, but diluted a little with some peach juice it was splendid...but still hit the spot ;o) The ice straining step is a must.

I am a teacher, and have been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 9 years. I have a niece who is 7, and a nephew who is 1. Also, I have 2 sweet kitties. Sinatra is a bit on the plump side, and Audrey is a petite dainty thing. They both are almost mirror images of each other. <a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/airbornearmywife/joshnatras2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://wmg.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://wmg.photobucket.com/albums/v202/airbornearmywife/1159026847.pbw" height="120" width="400"></embed> <a href="http://www.amazingcounter.com"><img border="0" src="http://c8.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1680027&c=5040394" alt="Web Counter"/></a> <img src="http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e347/Saturn6666/KiwiDutch/3chefstag1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
