Alfie Cocktail

Pro tips

• Use fresh pineapple juice rather than concentrate for brighter flavor and better balance.
• Chill your glassware before serving to keep the cocktail cold longer without over-diluting.
• Add the triple sec last to ensure the citrus notes don't overpower the pineapple and lemon.

Substitutions

• Lemon Vodka → regular vodka + 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice (maintains citrus profile)
• Pineapple Juice → fresh orange juice (shifts to orange-citrus blend)
• Triple Sec → Cointreau or Curaçao (higher quality orange liqueur alternative)

Can I make the Alfie without lemon vodka?

Yes. Use regular vodka and add fresh lemon juice or lemon cordial to achieve the lemon flavor profile.

Should the Alfie be served shaken or stirred?

Shake with ice to chill and properly combine the ingredients, then strain into a glass.

What glassware is best for the Alfie?

Serve in a coupe glass, martini glass, or highball over ice, depending on your preference.

Can I batch the Alfie ahead of time?

Mix the vodka, pineapple juice, and triple sec in advance, then shake with ice and serve when ready. Do not pre-chill with ice.
