NewEra IBA

El French Martini es un clásico IBA New Era Drinks que combina vodka, licor de frambuesa y zumo de piña, agitado y servido en una copa de cóctel fría. El zumo de piña crea una característica espuma espumosa cuando se agita, mientras que el licor de frambuesa da a la bebida su tono rosado y dulzura afrutada. Es uno de los cócteles que definen la escena de los bares de los años 90.

History & Origins

The French Martini was created by Keith McNally at his New York bar Balthazar in the 1980s, though some accounts attribute it to a broader New York scene trend of the era. It became a global phenomenon during the 1990s cocktail revival and was recognized by the IBA as a New Era Drinks classic. The name reflects its French-influenced chic style rather than any French ingredients.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: fresh raspberry and tropical pineapple with a clean vodka spirit note. Palate: sweet and fruity with the raspberry liqueur providing berry depth and the pineapple juice contributing tropical sweetness and a light, foamy texture. Finish: clean, fruity, and moderately sweet with a fading vodka warmth.

Pro Tip

Shake vigorously for at least 15 seconds with plenty of ice to generate the creamy pineapple foam on top, and strain into a well-chilled cocktail glass using a fine-mesh strainer.
