How to make a Queens Cocktail
Mix London dry gin, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Ice (enough to half fill glass) in a cocktail shaker. Shake vigorously and then strain into the glass. Fill the rest of the glass with the pineapple juice. Cut a slice of pineapple and pierce the top of the slice with a toothpick, then add the cherry to the top of the toothpick.
Can I use fresh pineapple juice?
Of course you can! if you’re using fresh pineapple you will need a juicer and probably a strainer, unless you like the pulp.
