Created in 1997 at London’s Met Bar in the Metropolitan Hotel, Ben Reed’s Pineapple Martini was a sensation for its novel use of freshly squeezed juice. The addition of lime juice to bolster the acidity of the pineapple was ahead of its time making the Pineapple Martini one of the more famous fruit-forward ‘tinis of the era.
