From Cocktail to Mocktail...

I love martinis, not the kind with olives or gin,
but the fun and fruity kind.

My favorite to make at home is called a
Wedding Cake Martini

1 Martini shaker fill half way with ice cubes
1 6oz can Dole Pineapple Juice
1 Shot Malibu
1/2 Shot Vanilla Vodka
1 tsp Grenadine syrup

Start with filling up your shaker half way with ice.
Add juice, malibu, vodka and grenadine.
Shake well. Serves 2.

Now on to the mocktail version. The original is so yummy, but I wanted to a make a version that was lower in calories and alcohol-free.

1 Martini shaker fill half way with ice cubes
1 6oz can Dole Pineapple Juice
1 Shot Coconut Water, my fave is SoBe
2 tsp Sugar-free Vanilla Syrup, like the kind in the coffee aisle.
1 tsp Grenadine syrup

Start with filling up your shaker half way with ice.
Add juice, coconut water, vanilla and grenadine.
Shake well. Serves 2.

So whether you are a cocktailer or a mocktailer, This one's for you!
