We were at the High Tide during our trip to STJ in April and had a drink I believe was called the Sunset Martini. It tasted like a pineapple upside down cake. Does anyone know the recipe for this drink?

We have a friend that is turning 40 in a couple of weeks and I'm going to be getting her the ingredients to make these and reminisce about our trip.

Does this sound familiar?

1 3/4 ounces raspberry vodka (recommended: Stoli Razberi)
2 ounces pineapple juice
Dash Triple Sec
Dash grenadine


Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add all the ingredients and shake well. Strain the mixture into a martini glass and serve immediately.

Sounds familiar. Is that the way High Tide makes it? When they serve their's the grenadine is at the bottom so it looks really red at the botrom with the pineapple looking color at the top...

Ryn, not sure, never been to High Tide. But this sounded like you described it would taste. Sounds good. maybe just shake everything in a shaker but the grenadine, then pour the grenadine in the bottom of the martini glass, and gently pour the rest of it on top.

Sounds worth a try!!
