For those who prefer vodka, the Pineapple Martini is a fine way to go come summertime. The mild and mellow flavors of the fruit juice balance well with the crispness of the vodka, making for a libation that will provide instant refreshment.

* Add 2 oz. vodka to a shaker full of ice.

* Follow that with 1/4 cup crushed pineapple (and its natural juices), and 1/4 oz. simple syrup.

* Shake well and strain into a chilled martini glass. Use leftover pineapple wedge for garnish and enjoy.
