A combination of sweet bold fruitiness and a bit of dryness that you would expect from most Martinis is what makes this cocktail such a winner.

Pineapple Juice and Coconut Rum are always a winning mix and in this case they give this Martini its tropical sweet taste that you would associate with sunny days on the beach Vanilla Vodka adds a bit more sweetness but also a bit of dry sharpness that does not go a miss in a drink like this. The dash of Blue Curacao sinks to the bottom of the drink, giving it a ocean or pool blue layer fitting of the theme of this cocktail.
