History:
A riff on the French Martini created in January 2015 by yours truly and Matthias Lataille at the Cabinet Room, London, England. I subsequently found I'd already created an almost identical cocktail, the French Cocktail, back in 2011. However, I prefer the Very French Martini name - even though it's far from being a "Martini".
Review:
Brandy, pineapple juice and black raspberry liqueur. OK, so France is not known for its pineapples, but as I said, "very" not "totally" French. And, yes, I know it's not really a Martini but it's fruity, tasty and quaffable.
