Originally made with Chambord (pronounced: sham-boar), a cognac-based black raspberry liqueur from France (hence the name), French Martini is a fruit focused cocktail with a sweet flavour profile.
I love Chambord but creme de cassis, a black currant liqueur, is another popular choice in place of Chambord for a drier drink.
Pineapple juice is what gives the drink that lovely, velvety froth, if shaken vigorously enough.
As with many vodka-based cocktails, you can substitute with gin for more complexity and fragrance. I'm also a huge fan of adding vermouth to amp up the complexity.
