Simple Flirtini

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

   ~ Leonardo da Vinci

You likely already know how to make this drink, and if you don’t, you should.  It’s bubbly and festive and equally welcome in the twinkling lights of the holidays as it is in the fluttering firefly lights of summer. These four simple ingredients can create a night of endless possibilities, whatever time of year.  I’ll drink to that :)

(WHAT YOU WILL NEED)

your favorite vodka (not flavored)
pineapple juice
Prosecco
fresh pineapple or maraschino cherries for garnish
ice
cocktail shaker, chilled martini glasses

One part vodka (1/3 cup) and 2 parts pineapple juice (2/3 cup).  Fill cocktail shaker with ice, add vodka and pineapple juice.  Shake hard for 45 seconds so that thin shards of ice break off in your drink.  Pour into a chilled martini glass approx 4/5 of the way full and top off with prosecco.  Garnish with maraschino cherry or fresh pineapple
