Tricks to remember:
Has martini in its name so it’s a martini category, ( traditionally calls for Spirit; Liquor/Fortified ). In this case the french liqueur Chambord gives their nationality mark, Pineapple makes a fancy visual foam. If the martini is a hard drink in it’s original strong version, french people made it their more typical way in a more fancy, subtle, visual and feminine approach.
The raspberry as garnish calls for the ingredients of Chambord
