Pineapple Martini Recipe (No Sugar Added)
A pineapple vodka martini that tastes just like fresh pineapple - slightly sweet and a little tart. It has no added sugar, thanks to a homemade sugar-free simple syrup, and it's lighter than martinis made with liqueur.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces pineapple vodka
- 1 ounce vanilla vodka
- 1½ ounces pineapple puree (see notes below)
- 1 ounce sugar-free simple syrup see notes below
- ¼ to ½ lemon (cut into wedges, squeezed; add to taste)
Instructions
- Add ice, both vodka, pineapple juice, syrup, and fresh lemon juice to the cocktail shaker.
- Cover and shake well until chilled.
- Using a cocktail strainer, pour liquid into a martini glass and adjust ingredients to your liking.
- Garnish with fresh pineapple or a twist of lemon peel.

TIPS: This martini has no added sugar; the sweetness comes from the pineapple and a sugar-free syrup. If your syrup is sweetened with a sugar alcohol like erythritol, subtract those grams from the total carbs to get net carbs. Sugar alcohols can upset some stomachs in larger amounts, so start with less. Check your flavored vodka's label too: most have no added sugar, but a few brands do. Fresh pineapple gives the brightest flavor. To make the sugar-free simple syrup, stir ½ cup water and ½ cup 1:1 sugar substitute (allulose or monk fruit) in a small saucepan over low heat until dissolved, then cool; it keeps in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Some sweeteners dissolve without heat, so test yours in water first. For the pineapple puree, blend 10 ounces of fresh pineapple with 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) of water until smooth, then strain. It makes about 9 ounces, so halve it or freeze the extra.
VARIATIONS: Swap in a different flavored vodka to create your own martini combinations, and adjust the sweetness or alcohol to your taste.
SUBSTITUTIONS: Unsweetened pineapple juice works in place of fresh puree, but the flavor won't be as fresh and the carbs will be a little higher.
