12 Fruity Martini Recipes for Your Next Party
Jump to:
Fun, flirty, and always delicious, fruity Martini recipes tend to stray quite far from the classic Martini formula, but we like it that way. These are fun-loving rebels that dare to break the mould and bring loads of fanfare and personality to any lively event or summery occasion.
So, if you’re feeling like something a little sweet and cheerful, here are 12 simple fruity Martini recipes to try:
1. French Martini
If you like your fruity Martini drink recipes to be classy to the core, may we please introduce you to the delectable French Martini? It was given its name as a nod to one of its original ingredients, a black raspberry liqueur from the French Loire Valley which gives the drink its distinctive pink colour. Mixed with pineapple juice and vodka, the French Martini is definitely for those with a sweet tooth.
SKYY Infusions Pineapple (opens in new window) adds a fantastic twist to a standard French Martini, bringing a tropical flair to the classic recipe. Its vibrant pineapple flavour pairs beautifully with the tartness of pineapple juice and the rich sweetness of raspberry liqueur. This infused vodka transforms the cocktail into an exotic treat.
2. Cranberry Martini
No list of fruity Vodka Martini recipes would be complete without the Cranberry Martini. Featuring vodka, Grand Marnier (opens in new window), 100% cranberry juice, lemon juice, and sugar syrup as ingredients, it’s a photogenic showstopper drink that’s simple to shake up. Talk about a win-win!

The Pear Martini is a sweet, crisp autumn-time sipper that calls for 4 ingredients. Ready in 5 minutes, it’s great for those moments when you feel like something delicious, but you’re also in the middle of whipping up a holiday feast.
8. Apple Martini
Speaking of autumn, naturally we had to include the Apple Martini in this line-up – it only happens to be the most famous of all the harvest-time fruits! Also known as the Appletini, this crowd-pleaser rose to fame at the same time as the Spice Girls and became just as big just as fast. Combining vodka, apple schnapps, orange liqueur, simple syrup, and lemon juice, the recipe is also nice and easy to master.
9. Watermelon Martini
The delicious Watermelon Martini is made by mixing vodka, fresh lime juice, and fresh watermelon juice. For this one, we recommend making the juice yourself – you’ll thank us for that. This drink also makes a great mocktail base or a quick summertime pick-me-up on its own.
10. Pomegranate Martini
Sweetly tart, fruity, and light, the Pomegranate Martini is easy to whip up (even in batches) and adds a hint of sophistication to just about any gathering. This lovely drink contains vodka, pomegranate juice, Grand Marnier, and lemon juice. Add a few pomegranate rubies to the glass, and it’s the star of the show on any table.

Made with vanilla vodka, key lime juice, cream of coconut, pineapple juice, and heavy cream, this dessert-inspired cocktail always goes down an absolute treat. Insider tip? Serve your Key Lime Martini with a few Graham crackers on the side for some indulgent dipping.
12. Cucumber Martini
Simple, elegant, cool, and crisp, the Cucumber Martini is a modern classic that puts garden-fresh cucumber centre stage. It pairs beautifully with the clean profile of SKYY Vodka, the subtle herbal notes of Cinzano Vermouth Bianco (opens in new window), and just a hint of sweetness from sugar syrup. Served icy cold in a Martini glass, it’s sleek, sophisticated, and effortlessly sippable.
