Pink Diamond Martini

The Pink Diamond Martini is bright, elegant, and just the right amount of sweet. It combines vodka or gin with a splash of cranberry or raspberry juice for a soft pink color, balanced by fresh lemon juice and a touch of simple syrup. Shake it well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass for a clean, crisp finish. Garnish with a lemon twist or a few fresh raspberries for a simple, eye-catching touch. This cocktail is perfect for special occasions, date nights, or anytime you want a drink that looks as beautiful as it tastes.

Tasting Notes

The Pink Diamond Martini is a creamy, dessert-style cocktail with an unexpected edge. White tequila adds a clean, slightly earthy base, while white crème de cacao brings soft chocolate sweetness. Milk lends a smooth, velvety texture, and a splash of grenadine adds just enough fruity tartness and a delicate blush pink hue. It’s indulgent, playful, and perfectly balanced—like a grown-up milkshake with a glamorous twist.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a cocktail shaker for chilling and frothing, a jigger for precise measuring, and a fine strainer for a smooth pour. A chilled martini or coupe glass showcases the drink’s pastel color and silky texture. Use a cocktail pick or tweezers to add the cherry with flair.

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz white tequila
• 1 oz white crème de cacao
• 1 oz milk
• Splash of grenadine syrup
• Maraschino cherry (for garnish)

Instructions

• Shake: In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine white tequila, crème de cacao, milk, and a splash of grenadine. Shake well until chilled and frothy.
• Strain: Strain into a chilled martini or coupe glass.
• Garnish: Drop a cherry into the glass for a classic finish.

Pro Tips

• For extra creaminess, substitute milk with half & half or oat milk.
• Adjust the grenadine to your sweetness preference—just a splash for blush, or a bit more for candy-like notes.
• Chill your glass in the freezer for a more elegant finish and to keep the drink colder longer.
• Want more pink flair? Rim the glass with pink sugar or add edible shimmer.
