Fresh pineapple gets crushed in the shaker, vodka and orange liqueur join it, and cold champagne goes on top. Fruity, fizzy and light on its feet.

Flirtini
Juicy, ripe pineapple with orange notes and fine bubbles. Sweet leaning, light and refreshing.
The Flirtini is one of the fruity martini-glass drinks of the late 1990s and 2000s, when almost anything served in a V-shaped glass got a name ending in "tini". It became a popular party and bar menu drink in that period, but its creator is not documented.
It combines two ideas: a vodka and pineapple sour-style base with orange liqueur, and a sparkling wine top that makes it lighter and more festive, in the spirit of champagne cocktails such as the French 75.
No, it only borrows the glass. It contains no gin or vermouth.
Yes, drained canned pineapple works, but fresh gives more aroma and less sweetness.
Yes, prosecco, Cava or any dry sparkling wine will do.
The perfect sound
A flirty night out in Manhattan with friends and pink glasses.
