"The complex but balanced blend of citrus, herbal and floral notes in the gin provide the perfect base for this cocktail, with the vermouth subtly underpinning the dryer elements of the spirit.."
We’ve put together this herbaceous martini for our spring menu to evoke the flavours and feel of the outdoors that we’ve all been missing so dearly in recent months. The name not only refers to the rosemary and pineapple in the drink but also gives a nod to the tastes and aromas of forest floor and country meadow that this drink’s botanical ingredients bring to the table.
In a Boston glass, lightly muddle the rosemary.
Using a jigger to measure, add the gin, elderflower cordial, pineapple juice and dry vermouth.
Fill the glass with cubed ice and seal using the tin.
Shake for 10-15 seconds.
Use a Hawthorne strainer, carefully strain the drink into a Martini glass; keep the gap between the edge of the tin an the strainer as small as possible to ensure no rosemary goes in the drink.
Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
Serve and Enjoy!
The complex but balanced blend of citrus, herbal and floral notes in the gin provide the perfect base for this cocktail, with the vermouth subtly underpinning the dryer elements of the spirit. Muddled rosemary gives a woody essence to the drink which helps to highlight the natural rose-like taste of the elderflower. Lastly the soft citrus and creamy sweetness of pineapple provide the perfect level of fruit flavour to balance the dryness, as well as a velvety texture that ensures this cocktail is as easy to drink as it is to make. The rosemary garnish finishes the drink, boosting the aromas and playing the part of a pine needle, to complete the arboreal aesthetic.

The Rose & Pine Martini is yet another spin on the most famous cocktail, the Martini. With its light, sweet fragrant notes, this is a far cry from the original, but using the right flavour combinations — rosemary and pineapple is a real winner – it retains the balance and elegance of its forebear.
If you’re planning a Martini-styled menu and want to feature the Rose & Pine Martini, some other firm favourites include the ever-popular Espresso Martini, a moreish mix of vodka, coffee liqueur and strong, fresh espresso; the zingy enlivening Breakfast Martini, a zesty mixture of gin, lemon, triple sec and marmalade; or even the modern favourite; the Pornstar Martini, a luxurious mixture of vodka, passion fruit and vanilla.
Martinis are a popular and stylish drink for a bar hire but they do tend to be quite strong, the Rose & Pine Martini is lower in alcohol than many of its cousins so it’s a good choice to round out a heady Martini menu. You could always consider serving some beers, low alcohol, or even alcohol-free cocktails alongside your Martinis as well, with loads of great mocktails and classically styled high-balls that could match the poise of the Martini.
If you’re eager to serve a Rose & Pine Martini at your bar hire and want to know more about what drinks you could feature alongside it, be sure to speak to your event organiser or check out some other vodka-based, wintery and Martini-style cocktails from our list.
