What better day to give you a recipe for an easy, strong and skinny cocktail than Friday?! I first heard about flirtinis on an episode of Sex & The City and just had to try it. It’s a genius and simple combination of vodka, champagne and pineapple juice. It tastes like a mimosa made with pineapple juice…you can’t taste the vodka at all. Which makes this a fantastic and dangerous little concoction! If you have some grenadine on hand, add a splash to each glass for a bit of color and added sweetness (although this also adds to overall calorie intake).
I like to make these for those nights with the girls when wine just won’t cut it! They are always a hit. They’re also a great brunch drink. Just make sure your guests know there’s vodka in them! These sneak up on you. 🙂
On another note, I’m a proud May sponsor of one of my favorite blogs, Steph’s Bite By Bite, and she gave me a nice little write up today! Check it out here and take a look at her AH-MAZING treats while you’re at it. She’s quite the baker…and runner…she’s awesome. 🙂 TGIF!!!
Enjoy!

I’m a huge fan of Flirtinis. Thanks for introducing me to these dangerously good cocktails! Perfect for poolside lounging 😉
I’ve always drank these with you! It’s a nice tradition!! 🙂
I love champagne cocktails (French 75 especially!), but flirtinis are out for me since I’m allergic to pineapple. It’s ruined multiple vacations.
Still, forget Coke, champagne is the best mixer EVER.
Oh yes…you should definitely pass on these cocktails!!! LOL!! Champagne IS the best mixer ever. I bet some papaya or mango juice would be just as yummy as pineapple!!!
